Book Description
As an avid collector for over twenty years, I have gathered these birds from all over the United States. This book contains all the information from study of the birds in my collection as well as pictures and information from friends. With a few exceptions, the birds have the Red Dime Mark "Made in Czechoslovakia". You will find as many molds for which I have pictures, showing the color and size varieties. Even though I have spent years in my search, I know there are others yet to be found as I was able to find a new bird even as I was finishing this book. I hope that collectors will send me information on other varieties.

Book Description
Several books are available that show great examples of the beautiful pottery made by Joseph Mrazek, but none explore the patterns, molds and marks that define this pottery. As a guide to this pottery, known as Peasant Art Pottery or PAI, collectors will be able to identify the three different styles of this pottery, and understand how the pottery matured. The more I collected, the more I was interested in the various patterns and had to know how many there were and had to have examples of each pattern. As with many collectibles, the more you study, the more you realize what you don't know. My 30 plus years of collecting and study have gone into this book and hopefully will help other collectors answer their questions about this beautiful pottery. As I found with my other book, "The Collector's Guide to Pottery Birds Made in Czechoslovakia", even as I was finishing this book, new examples were showing up on the Internet. No doubt many fine and rare examples are housed in collections all over the world. For the reasons explained in this book, a complete collection could never be put together but as all collectors know, the fun can be in the hunt and study. I hope this book will help collectors enjoy the search.

Book Description
The Art Pottery of Joseph Mrazek chronicles the extraordinary life of an American who emigrated to the United States from what is now the Czech Republic in 1908, and became a gifted painter and muralist, a decorated hero of the Czechoslovakian independence movement, an American undercover agent in World War I, and a friend of Tomas Masaryk, the "father of Czechoslovakia." Between the two world wars, Joseph Mrazek was the largest producer of hand-painted pottery in Czechoslovakia, most of which was exported to the United States. With the advent of the Second World War, he invented and manufactured a critically important military aircraft component that was integrated into more than 70,000 U.S. warplanes. Joseph Mrazek's most enduring legacy can be found in the brilliantly-colored, hand-painted pottery that he created from 1918-1933. The pieces remain as dramatic and vibrant today as when he first put brush to clay, retaining a brightness and durability that is astonishing. Today, his pottery can be found in museum collections and in the homes of thousands of collectors all over the world. This is his story.
