Old Glass Paperweights

Plot

This book, by one of the world's foremost collectors of antique paperweights, is the undisputed authority on the subject. Issued originally in a small privately printed Limited Edition, for many years it was out of print and available only at a considerable premium. This new edition, made from the original plates, is identical in format with the original edition. It covers all elements of the art of paperweights in all countries. Of special importance to collectors are the information and guidance that enable them to identify valuable pieces and to detect frauds, imitations, faulty and worthless weights. It is of great value to collectors not only of paperweights but of glass; of great interest to those seeking basic material for decoration and design, to libraries, museums, art lovers in general, and to collectors of fine books.
