Synopsis:

Invaluable for the collector, curator, and dealer alike, <i>The Complete Cut and Engraved Class of </i><i>Corning</i> brings to the field of glass collecting a rich storehouse of detailed information from unpublished original catalog material in the Corning archives, including long-lost pattern identification. A priceless aid to identifying pieces of cut or engraved glass, this classic edition takes a comprehensive look at the companies, craftsmen, and techniques that made Corning the country's largest and most prestigious producer of cut and engraved glass at the beginning of the twentieth century. <i>The Complete Cut and Engraved Class of Corning</i> has been updated to reflect the present-day locations (museums or private residences) of the pieces illustrated. The Afterword describes the cutting and engraving of glass in Corning during the last twenty years.
