Reader Reviews
This is basicallly a photo book on blue glass. It has no information on the manufacturing process, the difference between blown, cut and formed glass or particular glass vendors. The photos have prices associated with them, but no dates of manufacture. It is the only thing out there exclusively devoted to "cobalt blue", but I was disappointed in the lack of information. The authors seemed more interested in attributing the ownership of the items depicted in the photos than in providing facts.
