Stunning images, thorough research, and exclusive material make
this a book for many audiences: those who enjoy collecting Haeger,
Stangl, or Fulper as well as those who enjoy reading history and
good prose. For the Haeger collector, there are three lavishly
illustrated price guides, a detailed account of Haeger's early
artware production, and profiles of four of the companies' lead
designers. Royal Hickman fans will find his profile to be the most
extensive account of his life yet printed, including information on
his work before, during, and after Haeger. Also, included are
never-before published sketches of his Haeger creations. For the
Fulper and Stangl collector, there is exclusive material that
provides a detailed account of the "Haeger-Fulper Connection" as
well as never-before published sketches made by Martin Stangl while
at Haeger. There are a battery of Fulper images not seen in print
in more than half of a century. Even the most serious Fulper
collector should find much "new" material here.
The industrial pottery at Abingdon, Illinois, made artware from
1934 to 1950 before returning to its mainstay, plum-bingware or
sanitary-ware, as it was called at "The Pottery." Yankee ingenuity
was used to cope with the Great Depression when managers came up
with the idea of making artware using their usual "industrial
strength" materials and processes. This decision resulted in
artware with unusually strong bodies and glazes. For the veteran
collector of Abingdon Pottery as well as the novice, this is an
Encyclopedia of Shapes, a Dictionary of Colors, a Holy Grail of
Collecting, richly illustrated in over 700 photographs and
painstakingly researched. It also has a detailed value guide
according to mold number and mold type.
