COLLECTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN POTTERY
Candlesticks to Canteens,
Frogs to Figurines Signed, First Edition
Allan Hayes & John Blom "In this follow-up to the best selling Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni, authors Allan Hayes and John Blom prove that collecting pottery is easy, rewarding, and most of all, fun. They've put together twenty-five specialized collections that span more than a thousand years and display age-old techniques, mixing the usual array of beautiful jars and figurines with mermaids, pickup trucks, dinosaurs, teddy bears, and a wedding vase shaped like a duck.
Written in a bright, entertaining, readable style and containing photographs of more than six hundred pieces, Collections of Southwestern Pottery demonstrates that no matter how serious the art itself may be, the collecting doesn't always have to be taken seriously." 1998, First Edition
Signed on the title page by both authors

STORYTELLERS
And Other Figurative Pottery
First Edition
By Douglas Congdon-Martin "Even a cursory glance through these pages should be enough to make clear to the reader why storytellers have so captivated collectors and admirers of American Indian art. Each artist brings his or her unique talent to the creation of the figure, and each storyteller has a personality of its own. It is no surprise that demand for these creations continues to rise year after year.
The inventor of the form is Helen Cordero of the Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, though the tradition of figurative pottery predates Helen by many centuries. Storytellers and Other Figurative Pottery is designed to be helpful to collectors. The pieces are arranged by pueblo, which are in turn arranged by language groups. Within the pueblos the storytellers are arranged alphabetically by the names of the artists.
A full alphabetical index is provided at the end of the book." 1990, First Edition
Soft cover with full color photographs
