Standard Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass 1860-1930 Identification & Values

American pressed glass, which was at its zenith in the 1870s, entails hundreds of patterns and dozens of shapes with elaborate geometric, animal, fruit, and floral designs. Available in crystal and sparkling colors, this collectible glassware flourished until the end of the 1920s when a national depression surfaced and a new glass took precedence. This all-new collector's encyclopedia features over 200 new patterns and photographs, bringing the total to more than 1,500 photos showcasing the exquisite patterns and beautiful colors of the quality pressed glass produced for 60 years in America. Bill Edwards and Mike Carwile are experts on pressed, carnival, and opalescent glass, and the sales of their other two editions of Pressed Glass prompted this third edition. This encyclopedia is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also historically correct.
