The diversity and beauty of glass paperweights offers great scope for the collector, and this invaluable guide provides a comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to the subject for the newcomer to collecting. It traces the development of paperweights from the mid-1900s to the present day, including the major factories of France, Scotland and the United States. There are illustrations of all the popular makers, with their trademarks identified. Throughout the book “Fact Files” provide a wealth of hints and tips on collecting, such as how to identify styles, what to look out for when making your first purchases, and how to pick out the best examples. Color photographs showcase more than 150 pieces, each accompanied by a price range.
