Product Description
From 1896 until 2002, under the names Beatty-Brady, National, and Indiana Glass, beautiful glassware has been produced in Dunkirk, Indiana. This book captures the beauty of that glass in 440 vivid color images. For the first time in a single reference, over 100 patterns ranging from pressed glass of the Depression to post-World War II and contemporary eras are displayed. The patterns include the popular Artura, Bethlehem Star, Constellation, Diamond Point, Garland, Indiana Feather, Leaf, Moderne Classic, Old English, Park Lane, Vernon, and Willow. Their restaurant, hotel, and soda fountain glassware is also included. The text provides a history of the Indiana Glass company, shape and pattern definitions, identification and color guides, a bibliography, and an index. Prices are found in the captions and in tables within the text. This book will be a joy for all whose passion is glass.

LOTS OF GLASS THAT YOU SEE EVERY DAY, BUT NOT SURE OF WHO MADE IT!
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR DEALERS, FOR IDENTIFICATION. NOT SURE THE PRICES ARE ACTUALLY WHAT THE ITEM WILL BRING IN TODAYS MARKET, BUT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE TO START...

A Century of Indiana Glass May 12, 2007

Craig Schenning has done a great job of identifying Indiana Glass patterns, including information on dates of production, colors, and lists of known pieces with current prices. Also included are several patterns originally produced by other companies but whose molds are known to have been acquired (and produced) by Indiana in later years. Lots of good color photos, although you may have to look elsewhere to identify etchings and decorations. The best book I've seen on Indiana glassware.

Indiana Glass is one of my favorite companies. I love the different types of glass that they created and am thrilled that there is finally a new resource out there about the company. Hopefully, this will educate old and new collectors about the wonderful glass they created. I can't wait to see more from this author.

Informed about this book by an article in the Antique Weekly. So happy to have found it on Amazon at a more than fair price. The book is excellently done. Loads of information. Extremely informative. I'm a new collector of Indiana Glassware.
