Moser Artistic Glass, Edition Two

This revised, updated edition of Moser - Artistry in Glass contains chapters from the first book, additional text on post-WWII production, the historical development of Moser's decorative styles, updated information on factory marks, and careful identification of similar products made by Loetz, Webb &amp; Sons, Riedel and other firms. The ten chapters of narrative are thoroughly detailed and well written, covering Karlsbad's historical position as a central glassmaking city, and revealing how the firm has remained established, even beyond WWII and the collapse of Communism. 
There is splendid black and white photography - not previously shown - illustrating all kinds of the classical and figural motifs in which Moser specialized. Also present is an expanded 80-page section of color featuring new pieces not shown or identified in the first book. These color pages reflect an impressive Bohemian and Czechoslovakian repertoire (including cameo-frieze, intaglio-cut, rare-earth doped, enameled and engraved), shown at a large enough size for readers to view their intricate detail. Includes 1997-98 value guide.

Yellow-Green Vaseline! A Guide to the Magic Glass, Revised Edition

Fedosky, Terry

Crafts & Hobbies

From the Publisher The first glimpse of refracted yellow-green color in a barber bottle years ago inspired author Jay Glickman to learn all he could about this magic glass. The kaleidoscope of myths surrounding this elusive glass was almost as vast as its radiant tints; however, Glickman brought to light facts and fictions with the release of Yellow-Green Vaseline! A Guide to the Magic Glass in 1991. Now available from Antique Publications, the newly revised and updated Yellow-Green Vaseline! continues to enlighten and educate, and is still the only book of its kind to deal with this interesting topic. Complete with 1998 price guide. About the Author Jay L. Glickman began collecting glass in 1938 at the age of seven, first enamored with the reflection of a Vaseline bottle while sitting in a barbers chair. A collector of Vaseline glass for more than 50 years, Jay has spent many hours researching the history and physical-chemical characteristics of this intriguing ware. He holds several patens on tools for repairing glass, and formerly worked with glass as an optical lab technician. Terry Fedosky developed an interest in glassware in the early Seventies while conducting home parties for Wheatonware. She had collected a few pieces in a yellow-green color, but didnt hear the term Vaseline glass until stumbling upon a bowl at a yard sale in 1991. Immediately hooked, she embarked on a search for this mysterious glass. Among the small band of people fast becoming experts on the topic, she submitted current information and prices for the revised, updated edition of Yellow-Green Vaseline!
