Newest Catalog

 

Libbey ReduxLibbey Redux

           

The ACGA previously has published two Libbey catalogs.  The first was printed in 1988 and the second in 1996.  Now, over twenty years later, we will be publishing Libbey Redux.  For those of you who are not crossword puzzle aficionados, redux means revived.  That title fits the new catalog perfectly.  Dozens of Libbey catalogs, advertisements, and booklets from the Rakow Library of the Corning Museum of Glass and from the library of the Toledo Museum of Art were reviewed, and approximately 250 pages of material previously unpublished by the ACGA were carefully selected for the 2019 catalog.  You will find new patterns, known patterns cut on different shapes, interesting booklets, and a comprehensive index.  The booklets include a beautiful, full-color 1916 catalog of Amberina glass, the 1933 post-Prohibition, full-color booklet "Notes for an Epicure" which includes photos of Libbey-Nash stemware, the c. 1890s Libbey booklet "Facts on Cut Glass," and a booklet of advertisements.  In addition, LindaJo Hare, author and researcher, will contribute a comprehensive chronology of the Libbey firm during the Brilliant Era (1870-1920) which will give readers interesting insights into the company's operations.

This limited-run compendium is now in stock and ready for shipping. We anticipate that Libbey Redux will be a very popular catalog and one that all members will want to add to their research libraries.

The price for members only is $58.00

Luzerne Cut Glass Company Catalog

Luzerne Cut Glass Company - 2016

Little was previously known about this cut glass firm that was in business in Pittston, PA -  in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Coal mining region - from 1911 to 1926.  The company did not publish catalogs, but would loan interested parties a collection of photographs.  The ACGA, in collaboration with the Rakow Research Library of The Corning Museum of Glass, is publishing this year an original set of photographs of Luzerne’s cut glass from the Rakow’s archives.  It is thought to be the only surviving set.

The 106 page catalog contains some 600 items and many newly rediscovered named patterns.  It includes a comprehensive pattern index and a recently researched history of the firm.
