Mt. Washington and Pairpoint Glass: Encompassing the History of the Mt. Washington Glass Works and Its Successors, the Pairpoint Companies

This second volume of "Mt. Washington & Pairpoint Glass" realizes Kenneth M. Wilson's dream of completing the history of America's second-oldest glass manufacturer. It continues the survey of the company's art glass and cut glass, with chapters on Royal Flemish, Albertine and Crown Milano, Colonial and Crown Pairpoint, Napoli and Verona, cut and Rich Cut glass, and the cut, engraved, and specialty glasses that Pairpoint offered until it closed in 1937. Wilson completed the chapters on Royal Flemish and Albertine and Crown Milano wares before his death in 2005. Jane Shadel Spillman, curator of American glass at The Corning Museum of Glass, finished the book with the help of several researchers, writers, and consultants. This second volume includes an appendix of patents, concordances of glass objects and trade catalogs, and a general index.
