The drawings and pictures were so helpful when I was trying to identify glassware. It's a keeper.
Florence's Glassware Pattern Identification Guide: Easy Identification for Glassware from the 1920s Through the 1960s January 10, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Large clear color photographs make pattern identification easy. Each page includes information such as pattern name, company, dates of production, colors, and number of items in the line. The Florences also indicate the cutting or etching patterns, which are often hard to identify, with photos large enough for the etchings to be seen. I turn to this one often; it's been invaluable in identifying some of my more obscure patterns. This is a must book for glassware collectors!
excellent November 12, 2006 this is a very informative book. came in great shape and within a few days.
This Vol IV has very rare patterns, should be noted November 7, 2006 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The earlier volumes have the more common patterns, title should reflect this. I, like others, have never seen more than a couple of these pieces. A good book otherwise, though would have liked to know which items are available in each pattern instead of just the number of items in each. It is difficult to determine if you would like to collect a certain pattern otherwise. Book seems to hint that more information is known, but just not included. In nearly all cases, the pictures are excellent. Index includes previous volumes, a great help.

I rely on these books from Florence. As always, this one is exceptional.
