The Imperial Glass Company produced a wide range of beautiful glassware in many patterns and forms from 1901 to 1984. A thorough text and over 540 beautiful photos explore the many patterns, unique items, art glass pieces, private mould objects, wares made for customers to alter or decorate, and the glassware made in non-production colors that were produced by this prolific firm. Among the patterns displayed are Washington, New Rochelle, Pillar Flute, Laced Edge, Empire, Hobnail, Monticello, Cathay, "Molly," and "Zippered Heart." The text provides a brief history of Imperial, discussions of the firm's patterns, wares, the companies that contracted with Imperial for special items, and a detailed bibliography. Prices for the wares displayed are found in the captions. This book will be a treasure for everyone who appreciates beautiful glassware.

One of our more popular titles, this tenth edition introduces almost 100 new patterns and almost 200 new photographs, bringing this edition's total to over 2,000 color patterns. Aside from the revamped in-depth sections on carnival glass patterns, this comprehensive reference once again includes a section on an emerging interest of collectors, hatpins. Grading information and salesmen's samples are also included in this edition. All pieces and patterns are described in detail with important facts, colors, histories, and sizes. The bound-in price guide also includes virtually every piece of carnival glass ever made with prices given for various colors in each pattern. A multitude of both American and foreign companies are represented, and brief biographies on companies such as Dugan, Fenton, Imperial, Northwood, Cambridge, Westmoreland, Fostoria, Heisey, McKee, Jeannette, and the U.S. Glass Company are included.

This carefully researched book tells the story of the Dugan Glass Company (1904-1913) and the Diamond Glass Ware Company (1913-1931) -- businesses that occupied the former Northwood Company factory. Some patterns, previously attributed to other firms, are here correctly assigned to Dugan/Diamond. The authors describe and illustrate Dugan/Diamond's significant Carnival glass production, as well as Stretch glass and items of interest to Depression-era collectors. A 12-page 1998-1999 Value Guide is now available for just $5.00 (free with book purchase). It has new information and 36 items in full color made at the Dugan/Diamond factory.

The authors have gathered the rare, the unusual, and the expensive glass so very desirable to collectors and so very attractive to newcomers. For the first time, readers may view items that only rarely come out of private collections and almost never go on public auction. Collectors will marvel at the more than 450 full-color pieces, whether they are scarce due to availability, shape, or color. Organized alphabetically by pattern, Carnival Glass, the Best of the Best, features items in standard shapes as well as whimsey pieces. Edwards's & Carwile's latest book truly does feature the 'best of the best' in the carnival collecting world, and readers will enjoy perusing this coffee table book.

Collectors will find a bounty of information on the origins of Carnival Glass and priceless information on identifying pieces by shape, base colors, and manufacturers, including Fenton, Dugan, Imperial, Northwood, and more. Lavishly illustrated and filled with helpful tips for identifying all forms of Carnival Glass, prices are listed both in U.S. dollars and British pounds.

Originally published in 2007 and out of print since 2012, this volume was the first complete history of L. E. Smith, made possible by unprecedented access to factory records, catalogs, photographs, and the company "morgue" - thousands of sample pieces from 100 years of production. It is now available from the Glass Flakes Press, scanned from the original work with minor updates and corrections. In addition to the extensive history, it includes sections identifying all production and many experimental colors, including carnival glass, milk glass, and other opaque colors. Approximately one third of the book is devoted to the major patterns, including Mount Pleasant, Heritage (including many reproductions from the McKee -Tec patterns), Dominion, Simplicity (Smith's answer to Viking's Epic), Moon and Star, Hobnail, Daisy and Button, and many more. The remainder of the book covers specialized products: ruby-stained souvenir ware, candy containers, bedroom and bathroom glassware, animals and covered animals dishes, candlesticks, and punch bowls. A general index, pattern number index, and visual index are included.
