Collector's Encyclopedia of Niloak A Reference and Value Guide

Author David Edwin Gifford was the first person to produce a comprehensive book on Arkansas's famous Niloak pottery and its extensive production of Swirl/Missionware, Hywood Art Pottery, and Industrial Castware from 1910 to 1947. For six years he did intensive and exhaustive research into primary sources so that collectors would have the essential information they needed in that first book on Niloak pottery. That was seven years ago, and since then Gifford has been compiling and researching information for this all-new second edition of the Collector's Encyclopedia of Niloak Pottery. This time nearly 1,000 pieces of Niloak pottery are featured in full-color, including 250 new pieces of Swirl/Missionware, Hywood, and Castware. There is an expanded history on Niloak and its production, as well as expanded histories and additional color photographs of Swirl imitators. In addition, new marks, new catalogs, black and white photographs, and never-before-seen memorabilia highlight the reference. Collectors will be,thrilled to have this updated encyclopedia with year 2000 values on their shelves, and can be assured they have the most accurate information ever documented on Niloak pottery and its history.Gifford, David E. is the author of 'Collector's Encyclopedia of Niloak A Reference and Value Guide', published 2000 under ISBN 9781574321906 and ISBN 1574321900.
