New England Pomona: Portrait of a Nineteenth-Century Art Glass. By Beatrice Scheer Smith, edited by Merrily A. Smith. Glass Flakes Press, 2018. Hardcover. 348 pages. ISBN 978-0-692-96843-7.
The Glass Pomona, one of the glasses of the Art Glass period in America, was produced by the New England Glass Works in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 1885 through 1887. It is a clear, blown, lead glass, distinguished by its surface treatment -- a combination of acid etching and botanically inspired decorations colored with mineral stains, principally in pale honey amber and a mineral blue. At the time of its initial release it was praised as the most exquisitely delicate glass work that has been turned out in this country. New England Pomona: Portrait of a Nineteenth-Century Art Glass documents historic information about Pomona and presents what Dr. Smith learned through her research of primary source materials. Much of what she wrote was based on her own observations of the glass itself, since no manufacturer's trade catalog or other factory-production records are presently known. The Book - First major publication about New England Pomona Art Glass from a recognized world expert - In-depth study -- based on both text- and object-based research -- on the history of Pomona and its place in American glass scholarship - Comprehensive guide for identification of the various Pomona forms and decorations. - Heretofore unpublished material drawn from primary sources and based on observations and analysis acquired over 50+ years of study - 148 figures, 49 plates, and color photographs of more than 220 examples of New England Pomona and 40 examples of Midwestern Pomona Domestic postage is $4.00 for the first publication, $1.00 for each additional publication.

(WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale. |
