  • The China Closet: a Basic Guide
    HHF-LRA.144 The China Closet A Basic Guide to Antique and Vintage Glassware Introduction Collecting antique and vintage glassware has a popular hobby. The successful collecting takes more than money; it requires time, effort and education. Identify what you enjoy and want to display in your home, and then take the time to educate yourself about the glass, its value, and sources for collecting. Places to shop for vintage glassware include antique shops, auctions and estate sales, the internet, and garage sales. With the many copies, reproductions, remolded, and recast pieces in the market today, you must be careful and look for all the clues that items are authentic of the period. To help you identify genuine glass, study the type you are collecting in quality museums, at reputable dealers, and in notable auction houses that deal in glass and stand behind the pieces they sell. There are also many books available both on general categories of glass and books devoted to single types, such as Depression glass. However, a picture in a book cannot replace handling and examining the glass in person so that you can know exactly how it should look and feel. If you are collecting as an investment, there is more to consider Depression glass, green poinsettia pattern. than the authenticity and personal taste. As with many Printed with permission: Myra B. Dillon collectables, the glass market fluctuates. Published books that include values can be found; however, it is best to keep abreast of current trends by attending auctions, shopping through dealers, and using the internet to check auction and market prices of glass.

Not to be confused with Indiana Glass made in Dunkirk, Indiana, the glass companies based out of Indiana, Pennsylvania included the Indiana Glass Company, 1892-1896; Northwood Glass Company, 1896- 1899; the Northwood Works of the National Glass Company of Pittsburgh, 1899-1904; the Dugan Glass Company, 1904-1913; and the Diamond Glassware Company, 1913-1931. The Indiana glassworks factory was built along the railroad line at the location of the former State Experimental Farm near the present location of the Miller Stadium and the Eberly College of Business parking lot at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It was at this factory in 1897 where Northwood Glass Company owner Harry Northwood first made opalescent or translucent pressed glassware in the United States, which originated in England in the 1870s.

  • Imitate: Remediating Glass As an Artistic Medium for Material Imitation
    arts Article Imitate: Remediating Glass as an Artistic Medium for Material Imitation Jessamy Kelly School of Design, Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH3 9DF, UK; [email protected] Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 26 February 2019; Published: 4 March 2019 Abstract: Glass has a unique ability to imitate other materials; cross-pollinating with other disciplines to refresh and recreate itself. The creative possibilities of creating glass that imitates other materials such as ceramic, paper, metal, wood, stone, plastic and semi-precious stones are vast. The assertion of this paper is that the use of imitation is a necessary and definitive act within creative artistic practice. Following a range of historical examples to set the context for this article, a range of contemporary glass artists that use glass as a medium for imitation will be introduced and documented through a series of artists case studies. Finally, I will present my current practice-based research into glass as a medium for imitation. I will discuss the material testing and research that has been carried out and introduce two new bodies of artworks that I have developed based on the theme of glass as an artistic medium for material imitation. Keywords: glass; ceramics; milk glass; porcelain glass; imitation; materiality; cross-cultural pollination; remediation 1. Introduction Author and poet, Katie Stevens discusses the history of imitations and our relationships with them: ‘I want to give fake its clothes back. I want to take back the language around the fake, around what this word and its friends have meant historically, socioeconomically, and psychologically, and what they mean today ..

  • The Pioneer the Newsletter of the Antique Glass Salt and Sugar Shaker Club
    The Pioneer The Newsletter of the Antique Glass Salt and Sugar Shaker Club Volume XXXVI No. 2 July– September 2019 The 34th annual AGSSSC convention was held in Corning NY on May 30 - June 1st. The convention was very successful, with 37 attendees, and a good time was had by all. Corning was an excellent choice for the convention. The Corning museum has one of the most extensive glass collections in the country, spanning ancient to modern, and the Carder Gallery highlights Frederick Carder’s renowned glass designs. The Radisson Corning was a perfect choice for the convention. The hotel is situated next to the downtown which made it convenient to walk to nearby stores and restaurants. The staff was very helpful and accommo- dating, and even provided our group with a free hospi- tality room where members could socialize and enjoy snacks and drinks.
