Glidden Pottery: Alfred Mid-Century Highstyle Stoneware (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781612330167)

This book is the fascinating story of the company and the people who produced Glidden pottery. The first section of the book tells about the history of the company, the important designers who worked there, and the wonderful designs they created. The second section of the book contains a richly-illustrated catalog of Glidden pottery. The photo illustrations show the patterns and shapes produced by the company, arranged by number, at a level of detail never before available. The catalog also features the author's informative commentary about individual pieces. This book is the most complete work on the subject available and is written in a style that will appeal to both avid collectors and casual readers. At the same time, it contains a level of detail that will be valuable to historians and researchers. The information from this book was a major part of the research for the 2001 Glidden exhibition at the Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art, Alfred, NY, which was organized by director Margaret Carney, Ph.D.
