Standard Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass 1860-1930: Identification and Values

American pressed glass, 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 occurred and a new glass became the norm. Bill Edwards and Mike Carwile are experts on pressed, carnival, and opalescent glass, and the sales of their first book on pressed glass warranted this second edition. Readers will be pleased that over 300 new patterns and photographs have been added, making a total of over 1,400 color photos. Collectors will admire the exquisite patterns and beautiful colors of this quality pressed glass produced for over 60 years in America. This encyclopedia is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also historically correct.Edwards, Bill is the author of 'Standard Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass 1860-1930: Identification and Values', published 2000 under ISBN 9781574321791 and ISBN 157432179X.
