History
Of Glass Art - Book 1
Glass of Faith and Beauty,
the first of a series of three books, is devoted to the
appreciation and historic background of Early American Pattern
Glass and 20th Century glass inspired by spiritual and religious
subjects. This includes a comprehensive list of traditional
bread plates bearing the motto from the Lord’s Prayer,
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” as well as
glass tributes and memorials to church and philanthropic
leaders. Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders were honored.
Patriotic and family values inspired unique glass designs.
Religious symbols and themes from the Bible are found on
many antique glass patterns. Time honored traditional prayers
decorated childrens dishes of the Baby Boom period. Easter
egg and seder plates marked Holy Days. Objects of personal
devotion, such as crucifix candlesticks and idealistic madonnas
from American and European manufacturers, are a valued part
of glass history. This includes Viking’s unique late
20th Century series of small desktop religious glass sculpture.
A non-sectarian respectful review of a neglected area of
glass research and collecting.
