Noritake, Second Series, Joan Van Patten book
This 1994 antique reference book by Joan Van Patten is on Noritake china and fancyware. 260 pages. This was one of the first well done reference books on Noritake. It has an Introduction to the ware, and 191 pages of full color illustrations with value. It also has a handy section on marks.
This was my mother's copy of the book. I retain my own. She was an early member of both the Nippon Club and the Noritake Collectors' Club. I hope this book gives the new owner as much pleasure as it gave her and I am pleased to pass it along to a new admirer and perhaps club member. The book is in very good condition with only some checkmarks in pen of the pieces she had bought...and sold.
ISBN: 0-89145-536-1. Original price: $24.95
