American and Canadian pattern glass, long a staple of antique collecting, is gaining popularity with new collectors entering the marketplace. Today, pattern glass can be found in beautiful designs ranging from elegant simple patterns to florals to intricate creations. Many collectors choose to collect a single pattern, while others prefer to collect by form or a specific maker. Whatever collecting path a reader chooses is addressed in this book, which offers collectors and dealers another fine edition in the Warman's tradition. Covering pressed glass produced from the 1820s through 1890s, this guide features hundreds of patterns and information about the maker of the pattern, dates made, colours and forms available, and known reproductions. Each pattern also has detailed listings of different items including sizes, values and other pertinent information.
