Cranberry Opalescent Glass Makers Patterns Scarce / Illustrated Book + Values

Description

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF VICTORIAN COLORED  GLASS:  BOOK 9, CRANBERRY OPALESCENT FROM A TO Z
by William Heacock and William Gamble, Antique Publications, OH, 1987.
Illustrated in color and black-and-white, this early out-of-print book is a pictorial guide to identifying antique cranberry opalescent glass including makers and pattern names.
This is an exciting addition to the series of comprehensive identification guides compiled by the prolific and tireless William Heacock to assist collectors and curators of  antique opalescent cranberry glass.  Of all the colored pattern glass, cranberry is among the rarest.  Much of the opalescent glass and all of that produced by Northwood is blown, not molded.  Hundreds of examples from turn-of-the century company catalogues are reproduced here in charming, original black and white images.  These are offset by wonderful color photographic plates of elegantly arranged contemporary collections of pitchers, tumblers, vases, cruets and many other table accessories of breathtaking beauty and design.  If you are a collector, dealer or curator, or need to understand an existing collection or appraise individual pieces of opalescent cranberry glass, this book is an essential for your reference shelf.
