More DescriptionA detailed introduction to the Imperial Glass Company's Lead Lustre line, brought out for only a year in 1925 to replace Imperial's Free Hand line, which had proven too expensive to market. Although blown in moulds , the artistry required to apply the finishes and decorations required the same levels of skill and ability as the more expensive line. This publication is written to enhance the appreciation of Lead Lustre Art Glass -- itself an ingenious, unique creation. All of the known glazes, shapes, and decors are covered with over 250 pieces illustrated from the collections of the author and others, many of which are rare or one-of-a-kind.
