A beautiful bridal tradition:
American hand-crafted glass
For over 200 years, brides
have been receiving gifts
of sparkling hand-crafted
American glass—and with
good reason. 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.
