This publication (the first of six planned volumes in the catalogue raisonné) went out of print almost immediately upon publication. A proposed revised second edition of Bd. 1 has not appeared to date. The billingual catalogue raisonné includes designs for cutlery, jewelry, lighting, hollow ware (teapots, etc), and other objects. Separate sections deal with doubtful and rejected attributions. The publication includes indices of production firms, Van de Velde's signets and marks, owners' monograms, and lists of owners and clients.
