5.0 out of 5 stars Most informative stemware book I've seen!, January 3, 1999

Robin L. Poses (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crystal Stemware Identification Guide (Paperback)

If you're looking to identify stemware - this is the book for you! Precise illustrations and photos will help you identify just about any pattern in crystal - etched, cut, etc.. I was able to identify two stems I'd been trying to identify for YEARS as a Glastonbury/Lotus pattern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Source for Identifying Stemware, August 25, 2001

Wayne G. Stelts (Moreno Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crystal Stemware Identification Guide (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for identifying good stemware that you find at garage sales, swap meets, auctions, estate sales or something left to you by a relative. The book has several hundred pictures - either actual photographs or sketches of stemware that are sorted by manufacturer. Just browse the book until you find a match and you know the manufacturer and pattern name of the item. It also has a handly index - if you happen to know the pattern name - so you can find the corresponding picture or sketch and the manufacturer. Once you know the manufacturer it's easy to get more information off the internet. The book also references a place where you may be able to get additional pieces or sell the pieces you have. My only wish is that the book gave some historical information on the various manufactures and their patterns.

5.0 out of 5 stars the only one you need!, April 12, 2000

A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crystal Stemware Identification Guide (Paperback)

This excellent reference would have saved me 6 months of fruitless searching to find the name of a discontinued pattern, if I had found it sooner. I would give this 6 stars if I could! Its completeness and layout are truly superior to anything else like it.

There is nothing more unappetizing than to look at what should be beautiful, glistening, glorious photos of crystal, only to see sketches or grainy black & white photos.
