Excellent color photos of Franciscan Ware with fine comments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
If you want the curent average price of Franciscan serving pieces, this is not your book. If you want excellent color photos of the breadth of the Franciscan Ware line, clear photos of the various trademarks, and a concise history of Franciscan Ware, then this is an excellent book. I am afraid that it will eventually prove to be one of the most expensive gifts I have ever given.
