This book helps readers gain an understanding of the different techniques of manufacture and gives a feel for the variety of tumblers produced. Both pressed and blown tumblers are examined, and those made between the close of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I are the major focus of the book. A brief history of tumblers is provided along with the origin of the name 'tumbler.' More than 800 opalescent, imitation cut, 'Daisy & Button,' figural, hobnail, opaque, iridized, smooth, multicolored and single colored, polka dot, and many more types of tumblers appear in full-color photographs in this indispensable resource.
