From Collectors Books, vintage 2005, Illustrated full color hardcover
From its beginnings in the 1880s, opalescent glass has enjoyed a
widely receptive audience, both in England where it was introduced and
here in America where a young but growing market was ready for any touch
of brightness and beauty for the hearth and home. Glass authorities
Bill Edwards and Mike Carwile, who have written books on carnival and
pressed glass and Millersburg crystal, have once again teamed up to
present an all-new fifth edition on the ever-popular opalesecnt glass.
Glass production by both American and English glass companies from 1880
to 1930 is covered in this new edition. With around 130 new patterns
featured, this expanded volume now holds over 850 color photographs.
Detailed information on several prominent glass manufacturers is again
included, and the attached price guide has been enlarged to include
nearly 6,400 pieces in six different colors. A new feature of the price
guide is the addition of values for the 'after 1930' section of the
book, not priced in previous editions. Standard Encyclopedia of
Opalescent Glass, Fifth Edition, is sure to shine on your bookshelf.
Offered is the hardcover in Very Fine condition with some light handling wear and bumps to the corners.
