Pattern Glass Identification book

Early American Pattern Glass is a reprint of Alice Hulett Metz's book first published in 1958 and considered by many to be the "bible" of pattern glass collecting. The Early American Pattern Glass Society contributed by forming a committee of eight experienced collectors and dealers to review and revise the content. The format and Metz's comments are intact, however, prices are updated and new information concerning the patterns are grouped together making the differences and similarities more apparent. There are 1500 identified patterns(more listed than in any other book) with 900 of these patterns photographed. Some of these are very slight variations of the patterns. For identification purposes, I found the book to be very helpful.

Authoritative, comprehensive, reliable guide and reference.

Alice Hulett Metz's Early American Pattern Glass provides updated values along with black and white photos of about 1500 patterns. From uses and terminology to patterns and plate numbers, this is THE item of choice for any early glass collector.
