Book Description:
This beautifully illustrated reference work features hundreds
of elegant American glass forms in a wide spectrum of colors, shapes,
and etchings of 104 different patterns, made by preeminent manufacturers,
including Cambridge, Heisey, Imperial, Paden City, and New Martinsville.
They date from 1915, when Fostoria American was introduced, to the
1990s, when Fenton’s Cranberry Opalescent Hobnail was first
offered. The picture captions include dates of production and pattern
and etching numbers, plus original company colors. Full lines of
dinnerware and their companion patterns are listed along with bedroom,
bath, and decorating pieces, along with information gathered from
original catalogs and reprints, glass club newsletters, company
brochures, trade journals, company advertising, and from many dedicated
dealers and collectors. This book is an essential guide to American
elegant glass.
