Customer Reviews

Fascinating sojourn through the world of Cobalt Blue Glass.

I was already halfway through my collection when I spotted this book. The Schiffer book for Collectors is a good series. However, the prices were not only dated but did not match reality at the time. Most of my collection came from antique malls and flea markets. It is filled with pictures and descriptions of various cobalt glass items. Many of the items are quite ornate. I stayed with simple designs. Unfortunately, my library has overgrown most of my display space. On the practical side, I still drink my hot cocoa in a Cobalt mug. Still, if you are going to collect one thing, or even if it is too late, you need to have this book for a reference.
