Peachblow Glass: Collector's Identification & Price Guide

Plot

On March 8, 1886, a "peachblow" porcelain vase sold for $18,000 at auction, starting a craze that would last for more than 100 years. After the much-publicized sale took place, glassmakers eagerly scrambled to use the term "peachblow" to describe their wares. This book covers the sale of the Morgan vase in detail, showing how it influenced the glass industry, and shows readers how to identify the various types of peachblow glass, made right up until the 1990s. Although aimed at collectors, this book is perfect for anyone interested in Victorian life, glass and industrial history, or beautiful things.
