Fifties Glass

This is an excellent book for the beginning collector of "fities" glass. This book covers a wide range of manufacturers; with the primary emphasis being on Italian glass. The book contains excellent pictures that make identification of individual pieces an easy task. This book also includes a section that talks about the designers; another that shows the labeling and/or signatures on the glass; and the glossary which I still find very helpful. It is regretable that this book is now out of print--however, I recommend it highly to anyone. Look for it, if you find it, keep it, as it is truly a treasure trove of useful information
