Book Description:
Blue and white ironstone dinnerware has been collected
for many years, and the introduction of the Liberty Blue pattern
in 1975 by Enoch Wedgwood of England, with its fifteen different
historic scenes of colonial America, brought forth keen interest.
Here the Old North Church, Minutemen, West Point, Independence Hall,
Mount Vernon, and many more historic sites are shown. The Liberty
Blue promotion coincided with America's Bicentennial celebrations,
causing more people to become interested in owning a set for themselves.
Color photographs beautifully illustrate all the pieces in a complete
set, and interesting facts are given about each historic scene.
Prices are included in the captions and the associated glassware
and ceramic pieces are carefully described. Original advertisements
and brochures are included to provide extensive accurate information.
This is the first book about Liberty Blue dinnerware and is sure
to become a valuable reference guide for collectors trying to build
a complete set.
