Publisher's Note From its inception in the 1880s, opalescent glass has enjoyed a widely receptive audience, both in England where it was introduced and here in America where a young but growing market was ready for any touch of brightness and beauty for the hearth and home. Authors Bill Edwards, who has written books on glass for 27 years, and Mike Carwile have teamed up to present an all-new third edition on the ever-popular opalescent glass. American and English opalescent glass production from 1890 to 1930 are once again covered in this volume. With over 100 more patterns featured, this all-new third edition presents nearly 450 large full-color photographs and informative pattern descriptions. Both the novice and advanced collector will enjoy this new and exciting volume that combines the efforts of two recognized glass experts.
Industry Reviews "Patterns of opalescent glass are listed alphabetically and broken down into three categories: Opalescent Glass 1880-1930; Opalescent Whimsies; and Opalescent Glass after 1930 and Reproductions. For each pattern, the manufacturer, date, items and colors available in the pattern, and the scarcity of the pattern are provided." Stasio
