Still The Essential Reference Work for clear Steuben Works,
By
This review is from: Steuben Glass : An American tradition in Crystal (Hardcover)
If you are a Steuben collector or simply one interested in the history and work of America's preeminent producer of fine crystal, Ms. Madigan's book is an essential and interesting reference work. The book features many beautiful photographs of important works by Steuben's best designers. The book's most valuable feature for collectors is its comprehensive catalogue of some two thousand Steuben items produced during the years 1933-1981. Although most stock pieces are represented only by line drawings and key dimension (rather than by photography), the information furnished is usually sufficient to facilitate identification of Steuben products, if not especially helpful on issues of valuation. If you love Steuben, you will want to own a copy of this book.

The major reference book on the subject.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steuben Glass: An American Tradition in Crystal (Hardcover)
If you are a Steuben enthusiast this book is a necessary addition to your library. If you are a collector you will find the line drawings of all of Steuben's crystal pieces an absolute must as there are many fakes on the market. The photographs and text are outstanding. All in all, this is the Bible of Steuben glass.
