 The
11th edition of the
venerable Standard Encyclopaedia of Carnival Glass by Mike Carwile is now on sale.
This is the first
edition published by Mike Carwile on his own, without Bill Edwards.
This 11th edition introduces around 75 new
patterns and over 245 replacement photographs which have been
upgraded with digital images for improved clarity, bringing this
edition's total to over 2,000 colour patterns. Grading information
as well as new sections on base/feet identification and 'Inca
Bottle' variations are also included. The bound-in price guide also
includes virtually every piece of carnival glass ever made with
indicative values given for various colours in each pattern. A
multitude of both American and non-American companies are
represented, and brief biographies on companies such as Dugan,
Fenton, Imperial, Northwood, Cambridge, Westmoreland, Fostoria,
Heisey, McKee, Jeannette, and the U.S. Glass Company are included.
If you only buy one carnival glass
reference book, this should be the one.
The encyclopaedia can be purchased
on-line from Collectors Books in the USA -
