Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elegant and utilitarian glasswares have been made for over thirty centuries. The manufacture of cut glass in America stems from a history that reaches back to ancient Egypt, while engraved glass was known in classical Rome. In this excellent new edition of a classic work, the author traces the American phases of this fascinating history by describing the products of major and minor manufacturers. See the American industry evolve from its early days of imitative work, through highly imaginative products in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to a declining mediocrity in the 1920s and '30s. This book has been established as the "bible" in this field, and the addition of 150 new photos and fully updated text and pricing information make this edition the best yet. Glass collectors will treasure this unequalled reference.

Download or read book American Glass written by John Stuart Gordon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Glass can be decorative or utilitarian, and its forms often reflect technological innovations and social change. Drawing on an insightful selection from the Yale University Art Gallery and other collections at Yale, American Glass illuminates the vital and often intimate roles that glass has played in the nation's art and culture. Spectacularly illustrated, the publication showcases eighteenth-century mold-blown vessels, nineteenth-century pressed glass, innovative studio work, and luminous stained-glass windows by John La Farge and Louis Comfort Tiffany, the latter reproduced as a lush gatefold. These are considered alongside beguiling objects that broaden our expectations of glass and speak to the centrality of the medium in American life, including one of the oldest complex microscopes in the United States, an early Edison light bulb, glass-plate photography, jewelry, and more. With an essay on the history of collecting American glass and discussions of each object that present new scholarship, this engaging book tells the long and rich history of glass in America--from prehistoric minerals to contemporary sculptures"--Dust jacket front flap.

Download or read book The Rich Cut Glass of Charles Guernsey Tuthill written by Maurice Crofford and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this detailed narrative of the business Tuthill founded, the patterns he created, the techniques he used, and the other artisans and consumers he knew, Maurice Crofford has written the story of an earlier, more elegant and leisurely era. For those knowledgeable about cut glass, the development of the forms will be instructive; for others, who simply appreciate the beauty of the glass, the numerous black and white photographs will appeal. Beyond both of those dimensions, however, Crofford provides a fascinating insight into the ways industrialization and mass production and, more especially, the automobile, changed forever the ways upper-class Americans lived, entertained, and displayed their good fortune. In Tuthill's career, moreover, Crofford finds an example of American ingenuity and creative genius in responding to changing times."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Advertisements Book Five, a - K written by Rob Smith and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is our thirty-first LABAC cut glass book. The advertisements project work began in 2002 and soon accumulated more than 4,500 pages of cut glass advertising material. The four Cut Glass Advertisements books published during 2003 were soon recognized by the cut glass research community as valuable tools supporting pattern identification, cut glass research and catalog/pattern dating. Although coverage was high, occasionally someone later saw a cut glass advertisement or article that had not been reprinted. During late 2003, LABAC began accumulating additional advertisements not reprinted in the earlier Ad Books. That effort continued for fourteen years. As LABAC activities declined, a decision was made to scan the fresh advertising material for eventual posting to the ACGA website. Price Chandler accomplished the advertisement scanning and quite a lot of scan file cleanup. After partial assembly of this material into company-sequenced pages, LABAC activities were suspended. During early 2017, it was decided to complete assembly and publish the accumulated advertisements in book form. Rob and Val Smith cleaned up more ads, then produced the sequence of page images subsequently used by the revived LABAC group to publish Cut Glass Advertisement Books Five and Six.Each chapter contains advertisements related to a single cut glass promotional entity. We have chosen to begin AD5 and AD6 page sequencing with numbers that continue the page numbers after those in the corresponding company chapters of AD1-AD4. Ads are reprinted full-sized, with two or more smaller ads for a company shown on a single page. The origin of each ad is indicated, citing periodical name, date and page number. Ads with missing or incomplete citation data were included, in case these may be useful to researchers. This book includes cut-glass-related advertisements for ninety companies, including forty-five firms that did not appear in the earlier advertisement reprint books.
