Summary

Artistry and Innovation in Pittsburgh Glass, 1808-1882: From Bakewell & Ensell to Bakewell, Pears & Co. charts the genesis, growth, and influence of this enterprising nineteenth-century manufacturer. This first comprehensive survey of Bakewell glass emphasizes table and ornamental glass that is free-blown, mold-blown, and pressed. Over one hundred rare objects illustrate an array of decorative techniques, including cutting, engraving, and cameo-incrustation, and reveal the great skill that made Bakewell glass known from Pittsburgh to the White House.
