Mid Century Dinnerware by Michel E. Pratt is beautiful book;(this is the first part, do not miss the second one). The pictures are great, the design is clean, it is a pleasure just browsing through it. It is a must-have for the dinnerware collector and highly recommended for anybody interested on mid century modern design or decor.
