Schenning brings us an in-depth look at the many patterns that were created by this prolific glass company. This first volume, which is one of four, focuses on the many early pressed pattern glass products that Indiana Glass was making and marketing from 1898 to 1926. This volume contains all of Indiana's Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) as well as their goofus glass, oil lamps, kitchenware and children's items. A detailed history of the company's first thirty years is also included in this volume along with a great deal of general information about the glassmaking industry as a whole. While many of the most popular Indiana Glass patterns are presented in this volume, you'll also find many patterns that have not been included in any other resource until now.
