Summary

This twelfth edition of Elegant Glassware of the Depression Era holds more than 100 new photographs and updated values. The book features the handmade and acid-etched glassware that was sold in department and jewelry stores from the Depression era through the 1950s, not the dimestore and giveaway items known as Depression glass. As always, Gene and Cathy Florence have added many new discoveries, ten additional patterns, and re-photographed many items from previous books. Large group settings are included for each of the more than 100 patterns, as well as close-ups to show pattern details. Once again all the pieces in the photographs are identified and cross-referenced with their listings. The famous glassmakers presented include Fenton, Cambridge, Heisey, Tiffin, Imperial, Duncan & Miller, U.S. Glass, and Paden City. The Florences provide a list of all known pieces, with colors and measurements.
