A classic reference work, this rare book is the most comprehensive text published on New England glass with nearly 400 illustrations - showing the development of American glass styles over a period of four centuries.

NEW ENGLAND GLASS AND GLASSMAKING by Kenneth M. Wilson, Thomas Y. Crowell Co., NY, 1972 First Edition.

“Delving into the rich and colorful history of New England glassmaking, the author describes each of the factories that operated in the area, tells which types of glassware were made at which factories, discusses individual pieces in detail, and offers the reader many expert judgments on the attribution of different items to specific factories and artisans. All the great names are here, including the peripatetic Robert Hewes, operator of a glassworks in Temple, N.H., in 1780-1781 and later “super-do” of the Pitkin Glass Works of Hartford, Conn.; Thomas Cains, founder of the Phoenix Glass Works, who as a young man was secretly recruited in England (it then being against British law to lure glassworkers to America) by a Boston firm; and the ambitious and talented Deming Jarves, whose Boston & Sandwich Glass Company became so famous for its lacy pressed glass that all glass of this type is now known as Sandwich glass. The Coventry (Conn.) Glass Factory, whose highly varied output of bottles and of other hollow wares makes it so interesting to collectors today; the Glastenbury (Conn.) Glass Factory Company, the only nineteenth-century glasshouse whose site has been excavated by professional archeological methods; and such other renowned glasshouses as the New England Glass Company and the Mount Washington Glass Works are all fully described.”

”Mr. Wilson deals with the complete range of glass production, from snuff jars and inkwells to plates, lamps, and bottles of all descriptions, to chandeliers and stained-glass windows. He explains the reasons for changes in style and design; assesses the impact on glassmaking of such social movements as temperance and artistic movements as Bohemianism, and tells how the high costs of fuel and transportation combined with labor problems to lead to the industry’s decline following the turn of the nineteenth century. Whether a student, serious collector, dealer, historian, or museum curator, one will find this scholarly text an invaluable reference.

7.8” x 10.2” hardback with dust cover in very good condition (dust cover is rubbed; previous owner's name whited out on first blank page). 401 pages.
