This large comprehensive volume contains hundreds of illustrations of patterns represented according to molded characteristics - circles, stars, plants, flowers, etc. - so that collectors who don't know pattern names can easily locate pieces. Lists of other books of patterns are provided. The book is divided into sections, including animals, circles, diamonds, facets, flowers, fruit, hobnails & beads, panels, people, plants, ribs & columns, squares & rectangles, shells, odds & ends. REVIEW: Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1980, interest in Limoges porcelain has increased tremendously. This revised edition is arranged by company and/or mark. The history of the Limoges porcelain industry begins the book, followed by the histories, marks, and examples of the major factories, unidentified Limoges companies, and even miniatures. An index and cross reference to companies, initials, and symbols, are provided.

3.0 out of 5 stars
great pattern i.d. book, poor price guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Collector's Encyclopedia of Pattern Glass: A Pattern Guide to Early American Pressed Glass (Paperback)
"Pattern Glass" by Mollie Helen McCain is an excellent identification guide for early american pattern glass. The patterns are organized by characteristics and pictured clearly. I have had much success in finding the pattern name for glass. As a price guide it leaves a lot to be desired. Patterns are grouped in one of six catagories and priced according to catagory. As both a collector and dealer I find that many patterns are considerably under priced, and that rarity of individual items of a pattern are not considered.

A good, solid, reliable, pattern glass reference book.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Field Guide to Pattern Glass (Paperback)
Mollie Helen McCain's Field Guide To Pattern Glass is a winner, covering all styles of pattern glass and pairing small black and white illustrations with clear descriptions. Those already familiar with pattern glass will find it a good solid reference.
