Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is an in-depth look at the regular line production of Fenton glassware over four decades. This is the third book of a series that examines the history of Fenton glassmaking from its beginnings in 1907 through 1979. It evaluates shapes and colors that were omitted from the authors' previous volume, and those that were made for the regular Fenton line.
