Circa: 1956 Condition: Very Good Type: Hardbound Publisher: Steuben Glass Co. Author: NA Edition: 1 Pages: About 44 ISBN: Predates ISBN
Here’s a beautiful First Edition copy of an illustrated hardbound book published in 1956 by Steuben Glass. Titled Steuben Crystal, it was the company’s homage to American culture as expressed in the art of glass.
Among the 38 gorgeous plates – many of them large enough to cover much of their 9.5-inch by 10-inch pages – are examples of simple blown-glass forms, bowls and vases engraved from artists’ original drawings, and purely ornamental forms combined with decorations. The plates show each item in wonderful detail and list the name of the designer and the collection where it is housed.
In the final pages of the book are listed the names of major exhibitions of Steuben Glass from 1935 to 1956 throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. It’s an impressive list! And the individual photo images of each of the intricate pieces are breath-taking!
The book is in Very Good condition with a very slight tear at bottom of the spine. We see no other defects inside or out, but a previous owner’s name is handwritten on front end-paper! If you love exquisite glassware – you’ll want this for your collection!
