Polish glass.

tinmine:
Can anybody recomend books on glass from Poland please, perhaps its my lack of knowledge but it seems a bit overlooked...Many thanks Steve

Anne:
I'd love to know if there are any books too Steve, but I've not found any as yet though. Are you interested in Polish crystal (of which they seem to produce oodles if my Polish stepmother's collection is anything to go by! ;D) or their non-crystal production?  My interest is in Polish pressed glass.

tinmine:
I started looking at their crystal but now looking at further back glass including pressed, my problem at the moment is i am trying to learn far too much at once.  I think i am suffering from information overload!. Perhaps i should narrow my interests down a bit.

Anne:
I know that feeling Steve! ;D  But seriously, the best way to get a feel for glass is to look at as many different types as you can. Handle it, read about it, even if you don't retain all the information you get a better idea of what's what. Then decide what you want to narrow your interest down to if you want to - I did that and am now mainly focusing on glass trinket sets from anywhere - but all the other stuff I've handled and looked at has helped enormously, along with all the great info and advice from those here on the board who know (and will always know) so much more than I do.

I think that Polish pressed glass is going to be a very interesting area to look at if we can only find the information about it.

You may find something of interest on my website:
