This long-awaited book will be a valuable tool for collectors, dealers, and researchers of modern Italian glass. Most comprehensive volumes are written in Italian, and none includes a value guide. This one, in English, includes information and photographs that will make this book a standard reference on the subject. With approximately 700 full color photos of almost 1000 examples of glass from 1900 to 2000, and an emphasis on the highly collectible mid-century period, nearly every company and technique is represented. Company histories, designer biographies, glossary, bibliography, index, and value guide make this an ideal reference book.

The known Scandinavian companies Orrefors, Kosta, iittala, Nuutajarvi Notsjo, Holmegaard, Riihimaen Lasi, and many less famous firms, have been on the creative edge of glass design for over 75 years. Here is the chronicle of their work and the first book to cover all the major and many of the minor companies, with more than 700 photos, comprehensive design biographies, company histories, close-ups of labels and signatures, bibliography, index, and price guide.

A guide to the history, techniques, preservation and collection of fashion beads which includes a price guide.
