Book Description

Series: Schiffer Book for Collectors | Publication Date: July 2007

There is no other single reference book in print that offers the vast scope of patterns identified, discussed, pictured, and priced in Mauzy's Depression Glass, 3rd edition. It is the best identification and price guide for American and Canadian Depression glass, Fire-King, and fifties glassware and offers even more in this third edition: more measurements, more reproduction information, more pieces identified for the first time, and more current and accurate values. Hundreds of new, professionally executed photographs are presented with captions assisting in identifying thousands of pieces of glass in almost 150 patterns. Barbara and Jim Mauzy are known for their accurate, user-friendly books and this volume confirms their ability to deliver what dealers and collectors want and need to buy and sell glassware. Reproductions are clearly marked, accurately described, and often photographed. Measurements are provided in inches rather than ounces, and often heights as well as diameters are provided. An extensive index of names and nicknames is included. Dozens of dealers and collectors have collaborated with the Mauzys, offering insight and guaranteeing accuracy. If you buy, sell, or admire American and Canadian glassware from the late 1920s-1950s, this is the one book you must own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best glass book ever, July 15, 2001

This review is from: Mauzy's Depression Glass: A Photographic Reference With Prices (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)

This book is the Best!!!!!!!! The pictures are clear and the patterns are easily identifiable. The authors show reproductions right next to old pieces to show the differences clearly between the two. I can't wait for more. Lets hope they continue to do more books on depression glass.

This review is from: Mauzy's Depression Glass: A Photographic Reference with Prices (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)

I have purchased many books in the past on depression glass, antiques, 40's, 50's and 60's era. But this book is my far the best written, best photos and gives the best details I have yet to see. I will be looking for others done by this author as well. I was suprise to see all the information that was put into this. Absolutely recommend for any antique dealer or collector of any type of glassware.

Wow, is this a mature book. It covers nearly every pattern I've run into, gives a good history and overview of nearly every one, has realistic prices, lists each piece, identifies and describes (yes, describes) how individual reproduction pieces can be spotted. The patterns are listed alphabetical.

The only way I'd improve on it (and this goes for all these books) is adding a little cross-referencing between similar patterns. I've had to write in the book "similar patterns: ..., ..., ...".
