By Kenneth M. Wilson and Jane Shadel Spillman

This bundled offer includes both volumes of "Mt. Washington & Pairpoint Glass."

The first volume, by Kenneth M. Wilson, offers a comprehensive history of the Mt. Washington Glass Works, which was celebrated for its art glass and rich cut glass, pieces that are highly prized by collectors today. Until the publication of this volume in 2005, virtually nothing was known of the company's history or its many other products. This book is an invaluable survey of the many types of glass manufactured by Mt. Washington, including fine-quality pressed and blown wares, lamp chimneys, lanterns, and attractive lamps and chandeliers.

The second volume realizes Wilson's dream of completing the history of the Mt. Washington company. He began this work, and completed 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.
