I tried to post this query yesterday without success apparently... I'm after a pictorial book that shows the different makers of lead crystal glass, their styles & what are the identifying characteristics of each maker. Is there such a book? I have a beautiful quality parfait glass which features a multifaceted ball in its stem. I've checked Stuart & a few of the others on a website there's nothing resembling the faceted ball stem.

Hi Lee

I have the same problem . I doubt that there will be one book to fulfil your requirements.

You're Welcome! The best thing to do, is go through all the well know makers first - then it's down to laborious clicking!
