Confident in the strength of his vision and in his mastery of a demanding medium, Marioni has unselfconsciously and studiously pursued his own interpretation of classical design, resulting in forms and colors in glass that are inventive, fresh, and tradition-breaking.

Illustrating previously unpublished works, Lalique retraces the history of Lalique and its founding family. For Lalique is a famous name: René, 'the inventor of the modern jewel', as Emile Gallé described him at the close of the nineteenth century. After working from home as a designer for large firms, Lalique opened his own workshop, where he created objects in the round using previously neglected materials, such as horn, semi-precious stones, enamel, and glass. These already featured the themes that would recur throughout his career: Female, Flora and Fauna, with the addition of a fourth 'F', Form, with the advent of Art Deco. From a very young age René Lalique enjoyed drawing, observing nature closely and making sketches. Although his most detailed works were undoubtedly his jewelry designs, drawing was to remain an indispensable prerequisite to his creations. Lalique found an outlet for his creative genius in all sorts of everyday objects, including lamps, paperweights and tableware, magnifying their importance and rendering them wholly exceptional today. René Lalique also turned his hand to decoration and the creation of monumental works. Whether designing the stained glass for a chapel, an imposing fountain for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925, or objects for railway trains or ocean liners, he was always keen to create with glass and to play with light.","brand":"Ingram Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46397230219555,"sku":"ING-2019-9788874397402-X2","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9279\/2867\/files\/13106.jpg?v=1694539512"},{"product_id":"trademarks-labels-logos-on-usa-glass","title":"Knowledge of Pressed Ware: Trademarks, Labels, and Logos on USA Glass Companies by George Huemmer","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautifully and profusely illustrated throughout with full color photography, \"Knowledge of Pressed Ware: Trademarks, Labels, and Logos on U.S.A.

This book provides detailed accounts of the region's glassmakers from the first factory dating to 1795 through 1910. Glassmaking started out modestly with small glasshouses in Pittsburgh and up the Monongahela River in New Geneva during the final few years of the 18th century. By the close of the 19th century, the Pittsburgh region was producing more than half of all domestic window glass and the lion's share of most other forms of glass in the United States.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original purpose of this manuscript was to assemble and record as accurately as possible the history of all of the glassworks and the glass manufacturers that operated them in Pittsburgh and the immediate surrounding region. This book was designed to be a reference guide for anyone who is interested in the history of glass in western Pennsylvania. The years companies were operating, where the glassworks were located, what types of glass and specific glass items did they make, and what marks did they use is just some of the information that can be found in this book. There are hundreds of individual companies and name changes listed in this volume. It contains as much information about each company that could practically be included. Even the most minor name or address change was recorded exactly as noted by contemporary sources.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs much as possible, contemporary reference sources, such as city directories, early newspapers, maps, and journals were used to provide accurate and complete histories of the glasshouses. Generally, the better-known companies will have much more of their history available. However, every known glassmaker and glasshouse was included, regardless of how little information about them could be found. This book is intended to aid researchers in the determination of the age and the origin of marked pieces as well as narrowing down potential manufacturers of unmarked objects. The liberal reproduction of original advertisements and maps as well as the photographs of glass marks were included to complement and augment the narrative. The format of this book was established to facilitate its use as a reference guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46399024726307,"sku":"SO-ING-2009-9781440114946-X1","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9279\/2867\/files\/9127.jpg?v=1694567627"},{"product_id":"guide-to-sea-glass","title":"The Ultimate Guide to Sea Glass by Mary Beth Beuke","description":"\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/img.collectorbookstore.com\/toc\/per\/per-9781628737806_toc.gif\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are several reasons why the hunt is so important to the sea glass seeker.
