When Pairpoint Glass came into the picture with a product of equal or greater beauty, people of all walks of life were able to enjoy and cherish it. This finely detailed history of The Pairpoint Glass Co, with its clear, concise style will be of great value and interest not only to professional collectors but also to those interested in the historic role of the company and of glassblowing in the US.

" The manufacture of fine blown glass was long practiced in Europe and Asia before the founding of the New Bedford Glass Company, which was the forerunner of the Pairpoint Company, but it could be afforded only by the very wealthy. When Pairpoint Glass came into the picture with a product of equal or greater beauty, people of all walks of life were able to enjoy and cherish it. This finely detailed history of The Pairpoint Glass Co, with its clear, concise style will be of great value and interest not only to professional collectors but also to those interested in the historic role of the company and of glassblowing in the US. The Pairpoint Glass plant has passed from the scene, but its magnificent artistry is in the collections of people all over the world. This fine history will continue to remind us of a great loss and instill in us a yearning for an art and craftsmanship now gone, but never to be forgotten.
