About the Item
Bakelite Jewelry, Good - Better - Best, English book by Donna Wassertrom and Leslie Pina, 1997.
Bakelite jewelry was popular during The Depression because it was decorative, fun, and affordable. Today, it is sought after and worn for the same reasons its affordability is rapidly changing. This book is designed to show off an extraordinary variety of wonderfully colorful, always appealing, and sometimes startling jewelry, along with a sample of other objects through 420 color photos. It shows how to rate quality: good, better, best, and answers the many questions about Bakelite, from dealers' secrets to historical facts. The photos, the detailed information, and the indispensable price guide will provide beginner and connoisseur collectors with all that is needed in the hunt for Bakelite.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
About the author:

Leslie Pina is a professor at Ursuline College. She is also a specialist in twentieth-century decorative arts and a prolific author of books on American antiques.
