Old glass paperweights, their art, construction, and distinguishing features

This book, by one of the world's foremost collectors of antique paperweights, is the undisputed authority on the subject. Issued a few years ago in a small privately Limited Edition, it has long been out of print and available only at a considerable premium. This new edition, made from the original plates is identical in format with the original edition. It covers all elements of the art of paperweights in all countries. Of special importance to collectors is the information and guidance that enables them to identify valuable pieces and to detect frauds, imitations, faulty and worthless weights. It is of great value to collectors not only of paperweights but of glass; of great interest to those seeking basic material for decoration and design, to libraries, museums, art collectors in general, and to collectors of fine books.
