This is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born.
The WVMAG catalog reprints and monographs address glass topics that yet lack the wide interest to make publishing a book commercially successful or that we do not yet know enough to commit to the more permanent form of a book. They are endeavors in seed planting by providing information on topics that may not have been previously readily available that other researchers can draw upon in formulating their own work. Museum
members are eligible for a $4.00 discount on one copy of this title. If you are a member, please
send us a message through eBay once you have paid for your order and we will
credit the discount back to you. If you are not
a museum member, please consider joining.

About Glass The work of
MAGWV is possible ONLY with the support and participation of people like you.
Whether your interest is as a collector, student of history, descendent of a
glass working family, or general interest in the preservation of our past,
MAGWV has something to offer you and needs your support! About the
Museum of American Glass (MAGWV) MAGWV is
a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization located in Weston,
WV. Our mission is to share the diverse
and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as
telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of
the tools and machines they used in glass houses. The Museum
contains representative samples of glass products as widely varied as pressed
and blown tableware, art glass, bottles, marbles, insulators, automotive glass,
glass eyeballs, and much more. There is also equipment and tools which
were used in glassmaking. We preserve
the history of the places and people who made these products. The Museum
examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories,
while carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and
oftentimes forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry.
MAGWV displays many
of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the
past century, attempting to compare and contrast similar pieces produced
by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such
contrasts on a large scale.
