A German Dictionary for English-Speaking Glass Collectors by: Elizabeth Meek Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. This dictionary is for English speakers with little or no knowledge of German who are interested in furthering their knowledge of glass production. This is a semi-technical dictionary to help in reading the German descriptions of glass in publications and in museums. Though many art books published now are translated into several languages (including English), some interesting and helpful information may not be translated. For example, the English may say: "Vase, by (company), year. Cased glass." The German may also describe the decoration, how the piece was formed, and if the color has a specific name. Most of the historical texts are not translated. You will find this dictionary helpful: 1. If you are trying to read art glass publications in German in order to learn more about your glass--especially glass made in German-speaking countries. 2. As a visitor to European museums where the descriptions of items are in German. The pictures and examples in this book are drawn from research on Bohemian glass and multiple visits to the Czech Republic. Why is German an important language for understanding Bohemian and Czechoslovakian glass? There are 2 reasons. - The Kingdom of Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire from the 1600s until 1918. The official language was German. Many of the original records of glass companies are in German. - The researchers who have shown interest in writing about Bohemian glass have written in German. My hope is that this dictionary will help you increase your enjoyment of your glass. Then you can add to the world's knowledge and appreciation of this beautiful art and its many makers.

Ketchup Pickles Sauces: 19th Century Food in Glass by: Betty Zumwalt Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

OUR NOTES: I believe this book may be an indispensable reference to those who specialize in early hand blown glass bottles. At a glance, it contains hundreds and hundreds of close up photographs of these bottles. Most manufacturer entries include the known colors, a description of the shape (e.g. 8 panels, 81/2 x 3-1/2 inches) the method of manufacture, the estimated date, country of origin (if different from the U.S.) and much more. Some of the bottles shown include: Honey Tea Coffee Maple Syrup Catsup... or Ketchup, if you prefer Pickles Spices Mustard Vinegar Fruit Extracts (Vanilla, etc.) Jelly and much more. The back section also includes copies of the original patents for the bottles, along with original patent drawings, patent date, etc. --- John Kincaid, Collector Bookstore PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: KETCHUP PICKLES SAUCES 19th Century Food in Glass covers the spectrum of the early food industry in relationship to the glass containers marked with a company or trade name. Research provided is primarily for the antique bottle collector but should also prove of great interest to the food industry, as well as historians of this era. The introduction sets the pace, giving collector guidelines, rarities and values. Statistical information is provided where ever possible to aid the collector in dating the specific time period his collectable might have been made. As much historical information was included to be significant to the collector of said memorabilia. Research delves into patents, trademarks, personal information on the founders, dates of company business activity, mergers and continued operations under new titles, relative glasshouse information, background of patents and trademarks effect on this industry. All of this put together weaves the story of how the pioneer struggling for his existence brought about this industry. From the first 'quick' food packaging of fresh ground spices prepared in 1821 in Boston thru the modernization that takes place at the turn of the century. How the small companies with a good product and wise business sense survived the 'seasonal' problems of this industry to become the corporate 'giants' of today.

White House (Jugs, & Jars) 2nd Ed by: Charles Perry Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. (From the Author's Preface) "I had a lot of very good help with my first book, and was very proud of the final results. In order to hold down the cost of my second book, I decided to do the editing and photographs myself. ... I have two school buses with show cases in them, where all of my collection is displayed. I set up a desk in one of the buses, where I did all of the editing. With no phone around and no noise except my next door neighbors rooster crowing, I had a very quiet place to work each day for hours at the time. I would take each picture and try to explain how the bottle looked and what it held to the best of my ability." Collectors and dealers of White House bottles will find this a useful reference. This book contains a price guide.
