The history of the Riverside company, its artistry and impact on the glass manufacturing world, is given chronologically through 233 trade journal entries and newspaper articles. Storylike, the first entry announces the inception of the Riverside Glass Works in 1879 and relates the news of its close in 1907. The author, C.W. Gorham, intersperses the trade entries with product and historical information. Mainly a producer of tableware and some glass home furnishings, Riverside patterns were Victorian in design. Pattern descriptions and photographs of the glass comprise the majority of the book. 280 photographs, 177 in color, will please collectors, as will the many factory catalog pages, trade journal advertisements, and U.S. patents. Includes 2003 Price Guide.
