Product Description

Spanning the period 1800 up to the present, Miller's Glass A-Z Fact File has almost 6,000 entries, identifying more than 2,000 glassworks and 1,000 designers plus explanations of specialist terms and techniques. Glass producers around the world, from Europe and the USA to India, Japan and Australia have been included and the fields of bottle collecting, studio glass, flamework and paperweights are covered as well as more traditional areas of glass collecting. Where applicable, marks and labels are also included to help identification and an overview of glass-making centres and the development of styles and shapes puts pieces in their context. A comprehensive directory puts collectors in touch with the people they want to be talking to - whether auction houses, collectors' clubs and societies, internet resources or museums, thereby opening up a world of information on prices, historical manufacture, patterns and designs. Miller's Glass A-Z Fact File is a truly international work that no collector can afford to be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Guide to Glass Collectors, 3 Feb 2003

By Jim Healey - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A-Z Glass (Miller's Pocket Fact Files) (Hardcover)

This slim volume is a storehouse of invaluable information. With over 6,000 entries, GLASS FACT FILE provides the collector with a resource which will be referred to again and again. Besides the entries, there are sections on bottle marks, museums with glass collections, glass collectors' clubs and associations, and Internet resources. The attention to detail in this volume is simply amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Glass Reference, 8 Sep 2001

By Frank Chiarenza "Frank" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A-Z Glass (Miller's Pocket Fact Files) (Hardcover)

Aptly titled "fact file," this is an extraordinary resource for quick and handy information on GLASS in practically every category one might wish to explore (manufacturers, methods and techniques, types and designs, marks and signatures, etc.) Arranged alphabetically (with helpful cross-references), the author has assembled a massive amount of material -- over 6,000 entries! -- covering all aspects of glass world-wide, from the 1800s to the most recent productions. Precise, concise,accurate, and happily affordable, this comprehensive volume is destined to be an indispensable reference source for all students and serious collectors of glass.

Contains a mountain of concise, accurate and easy to use data. Small pocket size makes it easy to keep with you at auctions and sales.
