PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION:

Elegant and utilitarian glasswares have been made for over thirty centuries. The manufacture of cut glass in American stems from a history which reaches back to ancient Egypt, while engraved glass was known in classical Rome.

In this excellent new edition of a classic work, the author traces the American phases of this fascinating history by describing the products of major and minor manufacturers. See the American industry evolve from its early days of innovative work, through highly imaginative products in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to a declining mediocrity in the 1920's and 30's.

This book has been established as the "bible" in this field, and the addition of 150 new photos and fully updated text and pricing information make this edition the best yet. Glass collectors will treasure this unequaled reference.
