Collector Books is proud to introduce the most up-to-date book in print on the Westmoreland Glass Company. Author Lorraine Kovar is a noted expert who has previously published three extensive volumes on the subject, in which she adopted a personal coding system that is now well-known and used in many other publications. Continuing her efforts, Kovar has combined her knowledge presented in her previous volumes as well as updated prices and added information, to produce this outstanding book, Westmoreland Glass, The Popular Years, 1940 - 1985. With all-new, never-before-seen photographs and catalog pages, Kovar covers many patterns in this volume, including Paneled Grape (the most collected), Old Quilt, Princess Feather, Sawtooth, American Hobnail, and English Hobnail. All colors, decorations that were hand painted, and decals are represented in the most complete manner possible. The book incorporates new information from the J. Stanley Brothers files that list many of the Westmoreland patterns. Information is presented on markings, reproductions, and reissues. Collectors will learn more than ever before in Westmoreland Glass, The Popular Years, 1940 - 1985, which tells the story of the dedicated employees who worked for many years producing a high-quality handmade glass that has been cherished for many generations.
