 Since earliest times, glass has been admired for its delicate yet enduring beauty. Ordinary utensils made of glass-tumbles, pitchers, and bowls-are often transformed in to objects of art. Small wonder that glass collecting ranks as the third most popular field of collecting in the United States, surpassed only by coins and stamps. It appeals to all ages, budgets, and tastes. Glassware collections are as diverse as the numerous objects, colors, and glass types. Some people collect only certain shapes, such as butter dishes or decanters; others concentrate on a single color, particularly red or blue, or a decorative type, such as carnival glass. Still other collectors focus on the products of one glasshouse or period. While many people simply enjoy the beauty of early American glass, some spend years researching the personal stories behind each piece or the history of a specific factory. Increasingly, American antique glass is being collected as an investment. Various collectors’ club are scattered through the country, and antique glass shows and auctions take place practically year-round. Today, interest in collecting American antique glass is at its highest point since collecting in earnest began half a century ago.
