Allach Porcelain 1936-1945: Volume 1: Political Figures, Moriskens, Plaques, Presentation Plates, Candleholders, Specialty Pieces, Germanic Ceramics, Ceramics

This is a must have for Allach porcelain collectors, WWII buffs, and lovers of history. Fantastically well written and illustrated book!

Excellent reference, if you collect in this area I highly recommend you buy this for your library.

This book is absolutely OUTSTANDING as far as content and information goes! Mr Porell has done an outstanding job with regard to presentation and the color pictures are awesome. Great job and HIGHLY recommended to anyone having an interest in Allach!

I have been a collector of Allach porcelain after seeing some at a militaria show years back. There are only a couple of sources of information available prior to this very well done work, both in black in white and not all examples are shown. In fact, more are out there and the books prompted one collector to come forward and present a piece not seen or known before. There are two volumes and each one weighs 5 pounds. The photography is crisp and very well done. Methods and actual pictures of how it was produced are a great reference and learning source. Some of these Allach pieces have sold for over $30,000 and those who know it exists and collect it can now compare the examples they have to actual correct examples. I highly recommend this two volume set. One mistake in this area of collecting can cost the uninformed thousands of dollars. There were several high priced "tuned up" examples at the biggest militaria show in Louisville Feb 24-27 this year. Painted wrong or otherwise enhanced or repaired. The most expensive one was price at near $15,000.00. Buy the books and know what to look for, then start your search for this exquisite and very delicate, rare porcelain produced by the head of the German SS, Heinrich Himmler as an example of the pinnacle of the German culture.

We had been waiting for this quite a long time but in the end when this two volume work saw the bookshelf it may be absolutely clear that this will be the ultimate reference work for many years to come. Brilliant pictures, highly detailed and glossy printing, professional text and virtually all aspects of the Allach production line are shown.Perhaps it would even have been better if the manufacturer's logo's had been shown for most items but then again, these also existed in more than one version, depending on the year of manufaturing so it would have made these books even twice as thick so I can understand and accept the writers' and publisher's wish to stick to what they have now. I want to add that the writer also has a most interesting website and that he's always prepared to advise on individual questions. Great subject, great books, great man!

Very good. Thanks.

Excellent Book - dust cover torn some 5 cm. Not the first Time.

superbe ouvrage de reference en 2 tomes tres documenté avec des illustrations de très haute qualité. La meilleure manière de débuter une collection
