Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Standard Carnival Glass Price Guide (Standard Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass Price Guide, 12th ed) (Paperback)
This book is what it says and encyclopedia. I t was not designed for any group beginner or expert. It is well organized and packed with descriptive color pictures. This encyclopedia tell how when and Where the glass was made and more important shows patterns to help you recognize what you are looking at. The "Marks" section is worth it in its self. My two favorite objects in the book (of which I am not sure I would want in my house) are: Purple Pickle Paperweight: "Of All the oddities I've come across in carnival glass, this is probably the oddball of all time." Scottie "Surly there isn't a collector that hasn't seen these in the flea market in Scotties, poodles, dear, duckies, or rabbits. They are all covers powder jars, all marigolds, and made near the end of the carnival glass heyday. Still the coloring is usually respectable, and they are cute little things" Personally I do not think they are so cute; but my wife has the "Dear" that was handed down from her mother. Again this book is worth just being aware of the diversity in Carnival Glass
