Westmoreland Glass: Volume 3, 1888-1940

Plot

While the first two volumes of Westmoreland Glass provide the company's history and focus on the later patterns and decorated wares (manufactured from 1950 to 1984), Volume 3 fills in the Westmoreland story with an in-depth look at what was manufactured from the company's beginning until 1940. The author has arranged the book in three easy-to-use sections, beginning with a discussion of all of Westmoreland's numbered patterns and lines in numerical order. This book is well-researched, makes definitive statements, and includes advice on distinguishing reproductions from originals. It is user-friendly, and of definite interest to collectors of pattern glass, and glass of the Depression era.
