Table of Contents Before the production of steel made Pittsburgh an international industrial center in the twentieth century, glass manufacturing flourished in the city where rivers and plentiful raw materials were well suited to its production and marketing. Of all the glasshouses in the United States during the nineteenth century, only two had life spans comparable to that established in Pittsburgh by Benjamin Bakewell and his partners. Artistry and Innovation in Pittsburgh Glass, 1808-1882: From Bakewell & Ensell to Bakewell, Pears & Co. charts the genesis, growth, and influence of this enterprising nineteenth-century manufacturer. This first comprehensive survey of Bakewell glass emphasizes table and ornamental glass that is free-blown, mold-blown, and pressed. Over one hundred rare objects illustrate an array of decorative techniques, including cutting, engraving, and cameo-incrustation, and reveal the great skill that made Bakewell glass known from Pittsburgh to the White House.Payment Methods AvailableCheck, Money Order, Visa/MasterCard, Discover, PayPal.Shipping and Handling Cost: $4.18About UsCollector Bookstore the internet's leading retailer of reference books for the collecting community.
