Editorial Reviews

Review
This book saves collectors untold hours of research trying to identify things in their inventory. Hundreds of glass patterns are shown in detail for easy reference. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Gene & Cathy Florence Florences' Glassware Pattern Identification Guides are great companions for the Florences' other glassware books. This fourth volume in the set includes more than 400 patterns, with no repeats from any of the other books. Carefully planned close-up photographs of representative pieces for every pattern show great detail to make identification easy. With every pattern, the Florences provide the names, the companies that made the glass, the dates of production, and even the colors available. These guides are ideal references for novice and seasoned glass collectors and dealers, and will be great resources for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous reference for the novice or dealer..., April 1, 2000

By	Laura Haggarty (Northern KY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Florence's Glassware Pattern Identification Guide: Easy Identification for Glassware from the 1920s Through the 1960s (Paperback)

Gene Florence has done it again - produced an indispensible reference book for collectors of glassware from the 1920s through the 1960s. There must be close to 500 photos in this book, all of which are beautifully lit, allowing one a close-up look at the various patterns.

Patterns are identified by name, the company who produced it, the years it was produced, colors in which it was available, and the number of items found within the pattern. The book is complete enough to be used by dealers as well as novice collectors, and is light enough to put in your bag when you're out at auctions or antique shops. The lack of a pricing guide is not at all a problem, since most reference works with same have had them invalidated by the impact of online auctions on collecting anyway. If you're thinking of buying this book, don't hesitate, it's well worth the investment!

By	Lee Phillips (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Florence's Glassware Pattern Identification Guide: Easy Identification for Glassware from the 1920s Through the 1960s (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book! Color photos are close up and detailed for those like me who have trouble identifying a piece from black and white small photos! Great information as to number of pieces produced, etc. A must have!

Was a good book, but if you already have guide 1,2, or 3 it was mostly repeats with different picture views. If this is your first guide it is a great one!!

The book was very helpful, great photos, nicely laid out. Buyers should definately know, however, that it is a book of more rare pieces.

The earlier volumes have the more common patterns, title should reflect this. I, like others, have never seen more than a couple of these pieces. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment
Gene Florence has let true glass collectors down with this book. With so many etch patterns to identify, he chooses instead to cover more obscure things like Cathay Crystal. Read more
