VICTORIAN GLASS – Specialties of the 19th Century (1830’s – 1880’s)
by Ruth Webb Lee, Charles E. Tuttle, Co, Vermont, 1944.
“In this 640 page volume are described and pictured between two and three hundred patterns in glass, not hitherto treated.  Many were taken from old trade catalogues, thus enabling the author to state accurately when and where the glass was produced.  Large and comprehensive chapters are devoted to specialties, such as nearly 500 glass hats and 500 glass slippers, as well as rarities in pattern glass, Satin glass, Victorian vases, matchholders, animal dishes, Victorian novelties and many other items. Each one of the author’s previous books has covered a specialized field in the world of glass.
