Collectors' Companion "This closely researched and comprehensive book is the definitive work for collectors, dealers and enthusiasts alike".
About the Author
With a degree in Fine Art, Yvonne Jones taught art in schools and colleges before joining Wolverhampton Art Galleries and Museums in 1971, serving first as Keeper of Applied Art, and then as Head of Arts & Museums. Researching, documenting and extending the town's collection of japanned papier mache and tinware, she became aware of the breadth and importance of this field in the decorative arts. She left her post in 1994 to concentrate on a programme of original research, and is now an international authority on the subject and continues to lecture widely in both Britain and the United States.

The other books on this subject are not nearly as comprehensive as this. Includes detailed histories of the various makers, and many, many excellent photographs. This will be particularly good for dealers and collectors of these wares, as they will now be able to better describe and attribute these items.
