Napco by Kathleen Deel
Ceramic pieces sold by Napco*r (National Potteries Corporation) are distinctive and popular again today. From its prolific output of the 1950s and 1960s to its miniature bone china imports of the 1970s, Napco has held the interest of collectors because the ceramic items are consistently well-designed. This volume brings together information on all of the Napco*T lines, including chapters on animal figures, birthday sets, decorative items and kitchenware, figurines and planters, and head vases. There is a separate section on Inarco*T (International Artware Corporation), sister company of Napco. Collectors of holiday items, angels, and nursery rhyme characters will find plenty of interest in these pages. An added bonus is the directory of major importing companies of the fifties and sixties. With over 1,000 color photos and a price guide, this is a worthwhile addition to a ceramics collector's library.Kathleen Deel, a Massachusetts native, was drawn to the lovely woman head vases several years ago. As the price of the head vases increased, she turned her attention to the more affordable figural planters. She lives in Abingdon, Virginia, with her retired schoolteacher husband Elmer and their three cats, Larry, Curly, and Moe.
