PYREX: The Unauthorized Collector's Guide
Mauzy, Barbara Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. , 2000. 160 pages. ISBN: 0764310690. Retail: $29.95 Big, glossy pictures abound in this title! The pictures are well documented, and each chapter or section begins with a text introduction. This book is organized into 4 chapters: ovenware, FLAMEWARE, colors, and technical glassware. Each section is further divided into specific categories, such as refrigerator dishes, percolators, or casseroles. The author has done an excellent job of obtaining various examples to photograph. Not every production piece is pictured, but enough variety in the colors, shapes, and sizes is provided to guide the reader into identifying a piece.
While helpful to the beginning or experienced collector because of the beautiful, large pictures, this book contains little history and production information about PYREX. Review by: Harriet (limedragon) |
