Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE United States Glass Company, Volume 5, Tableware Lines 1911-1914. By Neila & Tom Bredehoft and Sid Lethbridge. ISBN: 979-8-9883853-8-7. This is the fifth volume of the most comprehensive study of the United States Glass Company, the largest and most successful of the tableware combines that dominated glass manufacture in the United States from 1891 to well into the twentieth century. Utilizing the massive archives on the company amassed by Tom and Neila Bredehoft, as well as resources from many other researchers and thousands of catalog pages, this volume covers the tableware lines in the 15000 series that were issued from 1911-1914. 20 separate lines are shown, most of them with dozens of individual items, all clearly illustrated from catalogs. The volume also includes a history of U. S. Glass from 1911-1914, as well as an appendix covering the Romanesque Line and another with 61 advertisements from the trade journals. Patterns covered in this volume include many that are transitional from the earlier pattern glass made by the company to those that are typical of the "Tiffin years" in the 1920s and 1930s, with the onset of the color years. It is anticipated that this series will ultimately be in eight volumes, with the first five encompassing all of the 15000 patterns, followed by a volume on the short lines and miscellaneous pieces such as bowls, sugars, and butters, a volume on lamps and lighting products, and a final volume on the blown lines - cut, etched, and decorated. Published with assistance from the Early American Pattern Glass Society. Published by the Glass Flakes Press. Plastic coil bound with laminated covers and index of patterns. 241 pages. This book is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. If you are a member of WVMAG, you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment. About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
