In addition to old, favorite patterns, the reader will be introduced to new examples of Southern's folk art gems, as well as information to help new collectors in determining whether a potential purchase might be a relatively common item or something more special. Previously unseen vintage photos of both the interior and exterior of the pottery and color advertisements are included, too. The book concludes with a section about the specific Southern Potteries shapes that were also utilized by other area potteries and which might confuse new collectors, and with a current price guide.
