AUTHORBIO: Mariann Katz-Marks lives with her husband and their three children in rural Pennsylvania . For years she pursued a career selling English and American Majolica through an at-home mail order business and numerous antique shows. Her fascination with this colorful Victorian ware began when she purchased a box lot of three Majolica plates at a country auction.

REVIEW: This book is a tribute to the innovative and creative potters who produced Majolica pottery during the nineteenth century.

This bright and whimsical Victorian pottery is showcased in beautiful color photographs.
