It contains items from the major manufacturers, ranging from hens on nests to miniature bank buildings and from plates to pigs, with examples of most of the colors and forms. Manufactured from the 19th to the late 20th century, they demonstrate the continuing popularity of milk glass. Designed for the new as well as the more experienced collector , the book is organized by manufacturers, with a brief history of each followed by a selection of their products. Current values are included for each piece. This book will delight and inform.
