This book helps readers gain an understanding of the different techniques of manufacture and gives a feel for the variety of 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.

Glass Tumblers,
By
This review is from: Glass Tumblers: 1860s to 1920s Identification and Value Guide (Hardcover)
Excellent book. The photography is top quality. Each picture is about 3" tall, so the patterns are easily seen, the colors are great, the focus wonderful. Being able to search by categories, such as, stippled and beaded, opalescent, opaque, air trap, cut to clear, is very helpful when trying to ID an item. Each page has 3 to 4 beautifully colored tumblers with the original name, number, AKA, manufacturer (when known), color, value, dimensions, description.
