Conta & Boehme Porcelain, Identification and Value Guide

This excellent reference/price guide book gives a thorough account of the history and wares of the company along with old family portraits contributed by the last remaining Conta family members. Historical information, vintage photographs, details of excavations, and a copy of a company catalog of religious products are just part of the first half of the book. Hundreds of high-quality black/white images illustrate the text. The second half of the book is a color picture gallery. Hundreds of items are illustrated, with brief captions that include values. Just a few of the many categories are: Fairings, Matchstrikers, Trinket Boxes, Nodders, Figurines, Inkwells, Vases, Jardinieres, Condiments, and Candle Holders. An exceptional book for both the collector or dealer.
