Author Description

This is the third volume of the most comprehensive study of the United States Glass Company, the largest and most successful of the tableware combines that dominated glass manufacture in the United States from 1891 to well into the twentieth century. Utilizing the massive archives on the company amassed by Tom and Neila Bredehoft, as well as resources from many other researchers and thousands of catalog pages, this volume covers the beginning of the 1900s and the tableware lines in the 15000 series that were issued from 1901-1905, including the conclusion of the States patterns which had commenced in 1897. 23 separate lines are shown, many of them with dozens of individual items, all clearly illustrated from catalogs. The volume also includes a history of U. S. Glass from 1891-1895, as well as an appendix updating the first two volumes in this series and another with 29 advertisements from the trade journals.
