Important addition to my library,
This review is from: Milk Glass: Imperial Glass Corporation (Paperback)
This is a good book with useful information, beautiful pictures and values of the pieces described. Helped me to identify the pattern and maker of a butter dish I have had for over a year. This is exciting and so helpful for any collector! Just what I needed to enhance my library of books relating to milk glass.
