Table of Contents
Description:
This book helps readers gain an understanding of the different techniques of manufacture and gives a feel for the variety of glass tumblers produced. Both pressed and blown tumblers are examined, and those made between the close of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I are the major focus of the book. A brief history of tumblers is provided along with the origin of the name 'tumbler.' More than 800 opalescent, imitation cut, 'Daisy & Button,' figural, hobnail, opaque, iridized, smooth, multicolored and single colored, polka dot, and many more types of tumblers appear in full-color photographs in this indispensable resource. There are even a helpful glossary, index, and appendices featuring factories that made glass and glass combines and their members.
