Today's auction catalogs look like magazines in full color. I love them, but I also like these simpler ones. The auction took place on March 9, 1950 due to the death of Edwin M. Berolzheier in 1949. At this point the collection was owned by Mrs. Edwin M. Berol. The catlaog measures 6-1/4" x 9-1/2" with 48 pages and 267 objects including the itemz mentioned.but also Persian and other antique textiles, pottery and bronzes.There are descriptions for each and within them are black and white photogrpahs.

I love the contemporary auction catalog, so beautiful compared to the ones of old with paper covers and no color pictures. The new ones are also oversized -- this one measures 8-1/4" x 10-1/2" and has gorgeous white coated paper and big color photos of the items. The auction offered European furniture, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries and carpets worth millions of dollars. The book is pristine inside and out and showcases 438 lots. View More...

Inside you will also find a catalog of all of the items pictured. The boolet is written in English, French and German. The box and its contents measure 4-1/2" x 6-1/2". View More...

Included are these techniques: making off-center shapes, cluster pots, a Yunnan cooker, the combination pot, tall pots from small kilns, pouring spouts, pulling your handles, rounding out a squared pot and more.

I've never seen this magazine, but if you like pottery and ceramics this magizine has a lot of info. It's also special to blend new booklets and magazines, but old ones are fun too.

There is other pages front and back.Many illustrations including a design ion color and design for jewelry. The magazine shows two relatively minor defects- a small piece of achival tape at the upper spine and a couple small brown stains at the bottom edge of the last page which get lighter and lighter.

Very handsome booklet showcasing southwest American Indian pottery. I found a few extra articles on the topic laid-in, none of which caused any browning to pages. I have sequestered them in a plastic bag and will send along with the booklet. Everything is crisp and clean and there is no spine crease. Former owner's name on title page, a few tiny check marks next to a couple names on the list of artists at back, and two circled names on the Quezada family genealogy are only faults. There's a lot of information here, but it's the huge pictures and dramatic black and white design which makes it a... View More...

Crisp,as new, catalog focused on the use of clay to make contemporary art and to share a variety of American ceramics from the Joan Mannheimer collection. The exhibit was held at the University of Iowa's Art Museum from April 25 to August 2, 1981. The artists are many and there is biographical material about their work. The catalog measures 9" x 10" and has 68 pages. Photos are at times playful and predominately shown in black and white, but there are some full color shots too.There's also an interesting foreword by the collector and an essay titled "Imagines and Reflections" by Jim Melchert.

Fabulous! From its beautiful cover to its pages of splendid treasures this isn't your mother's auction catalog. Before the 80's the catalog was much smaller and covered with a drab colored wrapper and small black and white photographs inside. All that's gone now because these catalogs are like coffee table books in full color with great descriptions. They're dream books and bigger too. This one measures 8" x 11" with 242 lots. I am so enamored of them that I bought twelve last Saturday! View More...
