The Glass Industry in Sandwich is a five volume series of books
presenting a factual account of glass produced by the glass
companies that were located in Sandwich, Massachusetts, between
1825 and 1922. Included are color photos of over 2300 Sandwich
glass objects that have been thoroughly researched and
authenticated by Sandwich glass experts Raymond E. Barlow and Joan
E. Kaiser, who have worked together for twenty-two years.
Recognized by the antiques industry as the "Bible" in its field,
this magnificent set of books has become a trusted reference used
by glass curators of major museums as well as by early American
glass collectors, antiques dealers and auctioneers. Each photo is
accompanied by dimensions, approximate time of production, and
captions that detail methods of manufacture and sources of
documentation. Comparisons are made between objects manufactured in
Sandwich glass houses and objects produced in foreign and other
American factories. Cutware, a General Assortment represents a
specialized portion of the fifth and final volume. It features four
complete chapters on cut, engraved, and etched glass; an assortment
of household and commercial ware; bottles; and a supplement to
previously published guides.
