The striking and unique beauty of hand-crafted American • • glass makes it a gift of distinction for all brides, for all time. Whether the bride's taste is traditional, Early American, modern, or eclectic, a gift of Ameri- can glass reflects Ameri- ca's past as it makes a bold statement for today's at- home entertaining. Hand-crafted American glass is an art -that is rep- resented today by 10 glass houseg *throughout "Glass Country, U.S.A."—an area encompassing West Vir- ginia, western Pennsylva- nia, and Ohio. All of these houses are members of the Glass Crafts of America Asso- ciation, and all are con- stantly at work keeping the tradition of excellence in lass Craftsmanship alive in a wide variety of beautifully designed and executed pieces. It is only a matter of choosing which one of the many styles of American glass best suits the per- sonal tastes of the bride_ For the traditional bride or the antique lover, there is a wide choice of classics such as milk, satin, coin, and slag glass fashioned into exquisite vases, bowls, candlesticks, compotes, and much more. Some of these are exact reproductions of shapes and patterns designed in the 1800's. The original pitchers, punch bowls, candlesticks, goblets, com- potes and plates created from these famous types of glass command high prices by collectors, but the reproductions, ideal for brides, are moderately priced from $5.00 to $35.00 and are available in de- partment stores and gift shops across the country. The bride with a prefer- ence for modern design will love the bold, contem- porary lines of hand- crafted terrariums, over- size bottles, jars and glass- es. In fact, many o1 these designs are destined to be- come tomorrow's treasured collectibles. y FURNITURE FOR LOVERS...
