The Encyclopedia of Head Vases (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Head vases, developed for the florist industry in the twentieth century, and now an increasingly popular collectible, were made in a variety of sizes and styles. The Encyclopedia of Head Vases provides a broad perspective on vases available, placing special emphasis on those heads which had not previously been pictured in a book. Almost 1,000 color photographs and captions identifying size and marks of 1309 heads make identification easy. Special chapters on the popular Betty Lou Nichols heads, Christmas heads, wall pockets, and related collectibles, along with a current price guide will make this book and important reference for collectors and dealers.
