Collector's Guide to Feather Edge Ware: Identification & Values

Rating:
Summary: NO SUCH THING AS FEATHER EDGE WARE
Review: The author of this book obviously doesn't understand pottery and the terminology that goes along with it.Another example of people writing books without any real basis of knowledge and publishers who don't care what people write.

Rating:
Summary: Disappointment
Review: This is a case of further entrenchment of misinformation combined with a shoddy job of making a book. While this book presents an abundance of images of shell-edged wares, they should not be called "feather edge" as that is an 18th-century rim pattern (and so explained within the book). But the images vary widely in quality with no attempt either in the photography stage or in color separation to balance the color, making the images unreliable as a visual reference.
