"The geometric orientation of Art Deco and it's brilliant hard colors make this style perfect for the medium of stained glass.Many Art Deco designers produced stunning works of amazing complexity and colors.

This collection contains 91 newly rendered, yet authentic, art deco patterns, which constitute a rich source of ideas for stained glass workers. The designs represent the major art deco motifs and sub-styles: abstract patterns in both straight-line and curved motifs. Representations of men and women in characteristic 1920s garb. Geometrically stylized birds, trees, and animals. The flowing forms of flowers and plants that are a holdover from the art nouveau period.

The level is intermediate to advanced, although the beginner, by taking extra care, can work many. These patterns will challenge both the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of any worker in stained glass. They can be adapted for many projects: windows; panels; lampshades; mirrors; mobiles; and other craft ideas."

The First Edition was published by Dover Publications Inc., New York in 1977.

All items listed here are original vintage to the best of my knowledge and research. Ask any additional questions as I am continually adding information to the shop.

Contact me with questions, concerns, or specifics on packing and shipping or package insurance. I'm happy to alter these factors to your needs and specifications.

I recycle shipping materials. Your purchase is carefully packaged in pre-used boxes and bubble wrap, wrapped in upcycled paper grocery bags. These fragile items require secure packaging. If you will be gifting the item, contact me so I can beautify the unboxing experience as much as possible.

If shipping rates seem high, contact me. I’m happy to double check package weight and dimensions or consider other options.

I can combine shipping (USA purchases only) on items purchased the same day. I usually ship within a day or two of purchase, let me know immediately so I can ship them together and credit the appropriate shipping cost.

I ship internationally through the Ebay Global Shipping Program and can't combine shipping on international shipments.

I use a rubric to grade the condition of books I’m selling. Since most of my books for sale are used vintage and/or collectible, most of the grades will be ‘very good’ and lower levels of condition.

Fine / Near Fine: Tight binding, clean pages, minimal wear.

Very good: Light shelf wear, faint soil, intact binding

Good: Noticeable wear, small tears & stains, yet firm text block. The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Defects noted:

Acceptable / Reading Copy: Visible kitchen wear, loose combs, writing or stains, still complete.

Common defects I encounter (and note) in vintage, antiquarian/collectible are bowed covers, chipped edges, dampstained, darkening or fading, edgeworn, shaken, and shelfwear. Vintage cook books in general sometimes have grease spots and splatter, clipped coupons or missing inserts, broken or missing comb teeth, tape repairs / rusty staples / loose pages. All noted defects are listed with the graded condition of the book overall.
