Theatis Daly and Roy Daniel examine Cut Glass display
in Darnel’s Antique Shop at Harper’s Ferry. W. Va.
“Unusual pieces like the compote Mrs. Daly is holding
are best sellers regardless of price,” Roy says. “And
a signature like Hawkes or Hoare adds 50% to the

"Some Brief Notes On American
Glass-Making And Collecting"
Today’s collectors concern
themselves mainly with three
major categories of glass Eaily
handblown glass, machine-age
pressed glass and late Victorian
art glass Each type Lears little
resemblance to ei hei ol the
others
Since the basic things people
need at the table have been the
same for hundreds of yeais we
find that no matter what the
period or type of glass, the
items made were also much the
same Tumblers, goblets, pitch
eis, creamers, bottles, flasks
and other types of containers
Most things made of glass were
at first designed to hold some
sort of liquid Later in the
1800’s it became decoiatively

equipment, when a beginning
glass collector attempts to idea*
tify a piece of glass he must
first decide into which of these
three categories it fits The na
ture of the glass itself is the
obvious first clue
EARLY BLOWN GLASS is
crude in the finished shape and
filled with bubbles and imper
fections Unless ground off,
each will show a “Pontil” mark
on the bottom Some of the
finest pieces have delicate,
brightly enameled colored de
signs No two pieces are ever
exactly alike. John Smith men

She has many African violets and
other houseplants and soon her
lawn will be a mass of blooms as
