Book Description
The Early American Pattern Glass Society, with the help of a committee of eight experienced pattern glass collectors and dealers from across the United States, has completely reviewed and revised the content of this wonderful book originally compiled in the 1950s and 1960s by Alice Hulett Metz. Considered by many collectors as the "Bible" of collecting, Metz's Early American Pattern Glass has been dubbed the "only book needed to buy, sell, or collect." Nine hundred black and white photographs of approximately 1,500 patterns from Aberdeen to Zephyr are shown. Clear pictures, authoritative reproduction information, uses, rarities, bargain patterns, plate numbers from standard texts, and accurate indexing are provided. The original format and commentary have been left intact, and updated information has been supplied where appropriate. Collectors will be pleased with the resurrection of this essential guide to early American pattern glass.

Book Description
"Glass can be decorative or utilitarian, and its forms often reflect technological innovations and social change. Drawing on an insightful selection from the Yale University Art Gallery and other collections at Yale, American Glass illuminates the vital and often intimate roles that glass has played in the nation's art and culture. Spectacularly illustrated, the publication showcases eighteenth-century mold-blown vessels, nineteenth-century pressed glass, innovative studio work, and luminous stained-glass windows by John La Farge and Louis Comfort Tiffany, the latter reproduced as a lush gatefold. These are considered alongside beguiling objects that broaden our expectations of glass and speak to the centrality of the medium in American life, including one of the oldest complex microscopes in the United States, an early Edison light bulb, glass-plate photography, jewelry, and more. With an essay on the history of collecting American glass and discussions of each object that present new scholarship, this engaging book tells the long and rich history of glass in America--from prehistoric minerals to contemporary sculptures"--Dust jacket front flap.
