Antique American Canadian Glass - Early Etched Goblets / Illustrated Book

Description

AMERICAN AND CANADIAN EARLY ETCHED GOBLETS
by John B. Mordock, self-published by the author, FL, 1985/1989.
This invaluable reference is a pictorial guide designed to help create a standardized terminology for categorizing etched goblets by pattern and stem.
Building on the research of earlier collectors, Ruth Webb Lee, S.T. Millard, Alice Hulett Metz and others, the author draws on collections at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point and elsewhere to put forward a nomenclature acceptable across the U.S. In addition to goblets, some compotes, butter dishes, pitchers, cruets, and sauce dishes are shown to create a basis for comparing patterns. All manner of patterned bands and friezes are illustrated—animals, florals, etc. and described in fine detail by manufacturer and physical characteristics. Thoroughly illustrated with black and white photographs, this book, which includes an index of patterns and a price and value guide, will make a fine addition to the reference library of any dealer, collector, or curator of early American/Canadian etched glass.
8.5" x 11" softback in very good condition. 60 pages.
