I happened across Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and Material Culture (http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/DLDecArts/) whilst looking for something related to the 1851 exhibition. Not only does the site have the complete 400 page catalogues for the exhibition, digitised for browsing, it also has a plethora of issues of 'The Craftsman', the magazine that, I believe, really pushed the boat out for the American Arts & Crafts movement. In this publication there are several glass-related articles, including one on Lalique from 1902:
René Lalique: his rank among contemporary artists (http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/DLDecArts/DLDecArts-idx?type=turn&entity=DLDecArts.hdv03n02.p0012&isize=M&q1=glass)
I'm sure there's other stuff - I've not had chance to look properly.
