ENCYCLOPEDIA OF VICTORIAN COLORED PATTERN GLASS:  BOOK 7—RUBY-STAINED GLASS FROM A TO Z
by William Heacock, Antique Publications, OH, 1986.
Part of a series for collectors of glass, this book concentrates on pattern glass and excludes treatment of novelties, souvenirs and related ads and catalog reprints of these items.  It contains brief company histories of manufacturers and a discussion of processes.  The photography is truly superb and the captions give size, function, provenance and any singularities.  Pitchers, punch bowl sets, serving dishes, cruets and just about every item appropriate to the dinner table setting and all pictured, described and placed in context in this most informative volume.   A must-buy book for any dealer, collector or appraiser of ruby-stained Victorian glass.
