description: In 1976, the Corning Museum of Glass devoted it's entire issue of it's Journal of Glass Studies to the topic of John Frederick Amelung, an honor never awarded to any other glass-maker. This volume is an updated version of that Journal issue and it examines Amelung's glass-making venture from four distinct vantage points. The authors provide a history of the factory and it's lasting influence on American glass-making, an analytical survey of the documented products, a report on the archaeological investigation of one of the factory buildings, and a summary of chemical analyses of the fragments and documented glasses. Also included is a catalog containing photographs and detailed descriptions of Amelung's glasses and the inscriptions they bear.
