The Collector's Guide to Made in Japan Ceramics: Identification & Values

I have a vase and before I gave it away I wanted to make sure it was not valuable. Since it was not in the book I expect it has no significant value. In short the book gave me the information needed through omission.

I collect older (collectible) MADE IN JAPAN items and therefore I have quite a few books on the subject. This book is not complete but quite helpful. Photos are nice. Many different volumes have been written on this subject. Infact, I own 3 other books on this subject. When "Made in Japan" collectibles were issued there were sooooo many different items sold, that it would be impossible to include all of them in just one book. The author tried and did a good job though.

While this line of books continues to give pictures and markings for research and collecting, the author seems to be running out of examples when there are so many out there he could include.

Great color photos, informative text and a section on Identification marks that is worth the price of the whole book! I'm buying books #2 and 3 !
