Product Description
The Hazel-Atlas Company was established in Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1902 as a result of the merger of the Hazel Glass Company and the neighboring Atlas Glass and Metal Company. Though its corporate offices were located in Wheeling, West Virginia, Hazel-Atlas factories produced machine-made pressed glass throughout the U.S., including Oakland, California; Buffalo, New York; and Ada, Oklahoma. Gene and Cathy Florence, America’s leading glassware authorities, have produced an all-new title dedicated to this popular glassware. Hazel-Atlas Glass shines in its presentation, with hundreds of detailed color photographs. The book is divided into categories including children’s dishes, tumblers, food containers, patterns, mugs, bowls, plates, and more. Large group and individual shots showcase the glassware, and readers will find sizes, colors, and collector values for each piece shown. 2005 values. AUTHORBIO: A collector since childhood, Gene Florence’s hobby of buying and selling glassware turned into a full-time career. First writing a book on Depression Glass, Florence has gone on to author many popular glassware titles including books on Depression Glass; Occupied Japan Collectibles; Kitchen Glassware; Very Rare Glassware; 40s, 50s, 60s Glassware;Elegant Glassware; Stemware; Glassware Pattern Identification; Anchor Hocking’s Fire-King; Glass Candlesticks; and Salt Pepper Shakers.

I was really impressed with this book. It filled in many of the little identification gaps that I had missing as a glass collector. There are so many items listed here that were not in his other books. It was enjoyable…….I read it in one day…….informative…..I was able to id many pieces…..and beautifully illustrated. I like the outline key too!

This is a fantastic reference book for anyone who is a fan of Hazel-Atlas glassware. The pictures are crisp and clear - the colors are vivid - and every page is full of photos. Not all of the Hazel-Atlas glassware is marked and this book is a valuable guide to authenticate those items, as well as being an interesting look into the many pieces of glassware that they produced. Very nice to have by the computer when you are surfing ebay.
