Collector s Guide to Paperweights provides comprehensive price information that is long overdue, from the golden era in the mid-nineteenth century to the multitude of individual artisans working today. After the classic period in the mid-nineteenth century, paperweights virtually disappeared! In the 1970s the paperweight revival was just beginning; from the 1980s to the present, an ever-increasing number of artisans have taken up the art of paperweight-making. Paperweights encompass every possible price category in glassware from inexpensive models under $25 (Chinese floral and others made in Asia as well as some of America s small glass novelty makers Blenko, Boyd, Gibson, St. Clair, etc.) up into the thousands of dollars (antique French, Stankard, 1 on 1 s, etc.) and everything in between. The purpose of this guide is to provide practical pricing on all such categories in both Europe and America. 2007 values.

Over the past 25 years, the brand has expanded greatly to include home and general design gifts and products. Now, for the first time ever, comes the book John Derian fans have been waiting for. Culled from the thousands of images that have appeared in his biannual collections, here is an astoundingly beautiful assortment of nearly 300 full-bleed images in their original form. From intensely colored flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here. The result is an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is destined to become the gift book of the season.
