Fostoria (Glass) Designer George Sakier by Leslie Pina

Table of Contents

OUR NOTES:

George Sakier might be an unfamiliar name, even to casual collectors of Fostoria Glass. However, as this book indicates, for many years Sakier played a key role in Fostorias success. Chapter 2 in the book shows Fostoria pieces that Sakier designed. Values for these pieces are in the back of the book. He designed these patterns among others: Baroque, Flame, Jamestown, Colony, Coin & Sorrento.

Collectors might also be interested to know that George was also a painter. A chapter of this book covers his work in this respect.

PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION:

Fostoria was a most remarkable glassd company and George Sakier(1897-1988) was a most remarkable designer of Fostoria glass. For over fifty years, through the Great Depression, Sakier sent classic and modern designs to Moundsville, West Virginia, where millions of delightful glass objects were produced. They appear here in profusion.

The book includes a throughly researched text about the man and his art (paintings, industrial designs and glass), as well as hundreds of brilliant color photographs of thousands of Fostoria glass items of many patterns and Sakier's fascinating oil painting landscapes. Sakier's Fostoria glass is American Art Deco design and the book is a fine resource for glass collectors.
