R. S. Prussia Popular Lines
by Mary Frank Gaston
Well-known author Mary Frank Gaston has pulled from all her R.S. Prussia knowledge for this all-new book on R.S. Prussia porcelain. The popularity of her first four books on the subject created a demand for a similar, yet unique look at this beautiful porcelain. R.S. Prussia Popular Lines focuses on the "best of the best" examples from a massive line of pieces. This book groups the pieces by the decoration, rather than centering on mold identification. Focusing on R.S. Prussia china made by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch factories in Suhl and Tillowitz, the first chapter presents the company's history. Decoration on porcelain in general and on R.S. Prussia specifically is discussed, followed by a section on the six variations of the R.S. Prussia wreath and star marks. Pieces which have popular decorations and those which are quite prevalent and readily found are presented. Floral transfers, scarce and rare decorations, and a complete section on reproductions add to the book, which also contains three convenient appendixes: a mold identification chart, a floral identification chart, and artists' signatures. Indexes for decoration themes and objects are also included with value ranges provided for each piece. Collectors will cherish this beautiful tribute to some of the most popular pieces in R. S. Prussia history.

The Art of Craft
by Timothy Anglin Burgard
The evolution of the contemporary crafts movement is one of the outstanding art world developments of the latter half of the twentieth century. In this sumptuous book, with more than 200 stunning color images, the best of contemporary crafts is celebrated, with sections on glass, ceramic/porcelain, wood/furniture, fiber, and metal art. Drawn from the unparalleled collection of George and Dorothy Saxe -- one of the premier collections of contemporary crafts in the United States -- the objects pictured form a glorious survey of this exciting and innovative field, with particular emphasis on glass. The Saxe Collection is distinguished by both its high quality and its depth, with many major artists represented by works from different periods in their careers. Prominent West Coast artists represented include Robert Arneson, Dale Chihuly, Viola Frey, Sam Maloof, William Morris, Manuel Neri, Peter Voulkos, and Beatrice Wood. Also included are works by artists better known for their work in other fields, including Kiki Smith and Larry Bell.
