I acquired an interest in head vases (mainly ladies) from my grandmother. Just recently I discovered eBay and started to add to my collection. I presently have only 10, but to me that is a nice number. I thought I should have a book with some information about them, and that prompted me to order one. I am glad that I did. But, it is too bad that half of my heads are not in this book.
This is the most comprehensive book that Ihave read on the subject of head vases.Iwould like to see a sequel with opinions or facts regarding more of the vases.If possible which are the most popular,which sold the most in 2007.Ifound the section on repairing the vases most beneficial.The illustrations are magnificent.The book is very informative and useful.I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT BOOK. Sincerely,Kandalec H
I actually purchased this book to help a friend identify a nice variety of head vases. We were very pleased with the content which included a good number of those in her possession. However, as we used the book only twice and very carefully, the entire contents pulled away from the spine. We were not abusing the book by trying to make copies or anything like that, only normal page turning. Therefore, we were quite please with the material included but very disappointed that it had not been bound more securely.
Love the book,hate the binding.I checked this book out from my local library.Every time I would turn a page it would just fall out.I'm ashamed to take it back,although I never mistreated it at all.I really would like to buy this incredable collectors book.I'm hopeful the 2006 is a better bound book.
I love this head vase book. The pictures are bright and colorful. East to look at. It contains several vases that I haven't seen before. My only complaint is that some of the pages are coming loose from the binder. Overall, I would recommend this book for anyone who loves and collects lady head vases.
