ART GLASS NOUVEAU
by Ray and Lee Grover. Charles E. Tuttle Co., Vermont, 1967/1986.
"While every significant type of art glass produced during this period is covered in the succinct text, the exciting galaxy of 424 plates, interspersed throughout the book, were selected not only because of their rare beauty and authenticity, but also to show representative pieces, similar to those that are still available. The complete description of each piece indicates its size, the type of glass used, its identification marks, the names of the designer and/or producer, when known, and its present owner." Manufacturers include Tiffany, Quezal, Kew Blas, Durand, Nash, Kimball, Libbey, Mt. Washington, Wheeling, C.F. Monroe, Steuben , Srevens & Williams, Thomas Webb & Sons, Woodall, Galle, Val St. Lambert, Moser, Loetz, and many more. Glass types includes amberina, MOP, Burmese, Crown Milano, Royal Flemish, peach blows, coralene, iridescent, millefiore, agate, lava, Alexandrite, aurene, favrile, cameo, spangle, spatter and more. This is a most complete text which makes it a must buy book for the serious collector, dealer, curator, or historian of art glass objects of art.
