As defined in this book, elegant glass refers to the hand worked and often acid etched glassware that was sold by better department and jewelry stores through the 1960s. Values have been adjusted to reflect the fact that in today's market, the values of most of this glassware have dropped over the last few years, and prices have been lowered accordingly to more accurately represent today's market. The listings in this book are alphabetical by pattern name, from Achilles to Yeoman.
Reader Reviews
I have collected alot of glass over the years and never cared to know what they were. I just love dishes! Now that I am becoming more serious I thought I would purchase some books for help in identification. This was one of three books I bought and the one that I turn to the most. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for information on glassware. I plan on purchasing more of Mr. Florences' books. I'm sure they all will be as helpful as this one. And in answer to Mr. Florences' question as to how the glassware shows with the different background colors, I think the dark purple on page 129 is to dark, leaving it hard to see the markings on some of the glassware. But, this is only my opinion and I am no expert on the subject. But you asked!! Thanks for a great book!
