Art Glass Nouveau is an exploration of the magnificent beauty of colored glass art.This art book contains many unique pieces that were produced extensively in the United States; Great Britain; and other European countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; when this fine art was at its height.All of the illustrations are in full color. The book contains 424 plates; 50 of which are full page. The complete description of each piece indicates its size; the type of glass used; its identification marks; the names of the designer and/or producer; when known; and its present owner. While every significant type of art glass produced during this period is covered in the succinct text; the exciting galaxy of 424 plates; interspersed throughout the book; were selected not only because of their rare beauty and authenticity; but also to show representative pieces; similar to those that are still obtainable. Most important of all in identifying a piece and determining its value; according to the authors; are its color; its shape; and the texture of its surface; to which they constantly give particular attention.
