An introduction to American art glass, featuring many unusual and one-of-a-kind examples of handmade glass. Imperial Glass Company's Free Hand and Lead Lustre lines make up nearly half of this book, illustrated with almost 300 pieces of this rarely seen glass, including some never before documented items and decors. The remainder of the book focuses on glass made by the Durand Art Glass Division of the Vineland Flint Glass Works, the Quezal Art Glass & Decorating Company, Tiffany Studios, the Alton Manufacturing Company's Trevaise line, Steuben from the Carder years, The Fostoria Glass Specialty Company's IRIS pattern, and Hobbs, Brockunier and Company's Peach Blow (or Coral). This volume is a feast for the eyes and an introduction to some of the most beautiful glassware ever manufactured in America. An appendix offers reprints of all of the currently known catalogs of Imperial Free Hand, Imperial Lead Lustre, Durand, and Hobbs' Peach Blow.
