Book News Annotation:

For those wondering whether that vase picked up at a garage sale is fabulously valuable French glass or a cheap knock off, Chervenka will let you know in this fourth edition guide to recognizing fake antiques. With color photos of both genuine and reproduced objects, Chervenka explains the main points to look for. He covers the most commonly found and copied works: china, pottery, toys, glass, jewelry, furniture and silver, along with the more specialized areas of Black and Civil War memorabilia, Halloween themed objects, Coca- Cola souvenirs and marbles. This is not a price guide, but a handy reference to consult before setting off for the antique shop or swap meet. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
