註釋

Everyone's talking about antiques and collectibles, and spending their leisure time searching for things to buy. But making a transition from casual interest to real knowledge can be very difficult. From bourdaloue to Zwischengoldglas, Alvar Aalto to Frank Lloyd Wright, the world of antiques is full of strange and difficult terms and unfamiliar names. Judith Miller helps you to cut through the jargon and make sense of the sometimes bewildering language used by those in the know. This book ranges over hundreds of topics from the ceramics of ancient China to twentieth-century toys. You will find entries on makers, designers, and factories, definitions of styles and motifs, and more than 50 in-depth features on major topics, such as Bauhaus, Meissen, and teddy bears. This is the key reference book that will be the cornerstone of your entire antiques library. With over 3000 entries and 1500 specially commissioned photographs and drawings, it is an instant source of information on identification, dates and values.
