ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN CUT AND ENGRAVED GLASS
by Albert Christian Revi, Schiffer Publishing Ltd., PA, 2000.
"This book has been established as the 'bible' in this field.  The captioned photographs and fully updated text and pricing information make this edition the best yet.  Glass collectors will treasure this unequaled reference.  The author traces the American phases of the fascinating history by describing the products of major and minor manufacturers.  See the American industry evolve from its early days of imitative work, through highly imaginative products of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to a declining mediocrity in the 1920s and '30s."  Hundreds of manufacturers are identified including pictures of patterns they are noted for.  An appendix covers the "Trademarks and Labels for Cut Glass Wares."
This comprehensive book belongs in the permanent reference library of the serious collector, dealer, or historian of antique and vintage cut and engraved glass.
