Customer Reviews

This book has already paid for itself.

This book is a little large to be carrying around; however, I still carry it to places that I already know will have the pattern I am looking for. The forward describes "Elegant" glassware as handmade and acid-etched glassware that was sold by department and jewelry stores during the Depression era through the 1950s, differentiating it from the dime store and giveaway glass that has become known as Depression glass. The word "Elegant" has become "official nomenclature among today's dealers for designating handmade glass. It is well organized with the glass patterns in alphabetical order and the prices in columns by the color of the glass. Most of the pictures are in color and have good enough definition to identify what you are looking at. There are contents by pattern and content by the company.
