Glass containing cobalt has been discovered fromthe Babylonian-Assyrian period, the Mycenaeanera, and the Roman Empire. Commercially, co-balt was not used as a glass colorant until the late1800s. Small quantities of cobalt were producedby American glass companies from the late 1800sto the mid-1920s. Most of the American cobaltglass in this book is from the mid-1920s to WorldWar II. Several companies including the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, the L.E. Smith Glass Com-pany, and the MacBeth-Evans Glass Companyproduced machine-molded cobalt glass during the1930s that can be considered true Depressionglass. Many of the major glass companies are cov-ered in this book: Cambridge, Central Glass,Duncan & Miller, Fostoria Glass, Hazel Atlas,A.H. Heisey, Imperial, Paden City, Westmoreland,and many more. There are over 800 color photos.Items shown include candlesticks, bowls, com-potes, cake stands, trays and platters, glasses,pitchers, and perfumes.

COLLECTING CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS AND TREE DECORATIONS
There are many kinds of Christmas ornament collectors and, if you think about it, collections of Christmas ornaments are probably the most prolific of
all items collected. Many people, who would not even consider themselves to be collectors, have great collections of Christmas ornaments and Christ-
mas decorations. They cherish and proudly display these collections each year at family gatherings and Christmas parties with friends. Some Christmas
ornament collectors add a new Christmas ornament to their collection each year without fail. Others have relatives who give them a new Christmas or-
nament each Christmas as a family tradition. Christmas ornaments contributed by family members always become so much more treasured collections.
Serious collectors can't wait for the Christmas season to come around again, so they can once again display their full collection with new additions for
friends and relatives. Many of these seasoned Christmas ornament collectors large Christmas trees in the home and extras shelves and tables to display
their whole collection at once. Part of their fun is creating a new look display each year, so that the home looks different every Christmas. Many collec-
tors deliberately display only a part of their collection each year so that they can create a different look each Christmas. Collectors also specialize in
many different aspects of Christmas. Some collect only ornaments that are hung on trees. Others collect only standing ornaments that are displayed on
tables and shelves. Some specialize in Nativity sets, others in ceramic Santa's, some might love snowmen or angels or reindeer etc. To begin a collection
of unique ornaments, look for pieces throughout the year. This way, you can bring Christmas into your home during any season!
Collecting Antique Christmas Ornaments Antique Christmas ornaments can add that vintage Old World appeal to your holiday decor. This can be a specialized form of collecting and it is wise to
become familiar with the antique ornament market. There are a wide variety of ornament types, from German, blown-glass ornaments to paper mache
ornaments, from goose-feather trees to antique paper cards and tree ornaments and even antique Christmas lights. Once you know what you like, you'll
know what to focus on collecting. Most antique Christmas Ornament collectors search the internet and local antique stores, garage sales and flea mar-
kets for antique Christmas ornaments. Prices will vary greatly with the ornament's age, color, condition and manufacturer. You really need a passion
and a lot of time to seriously collect Antique Christmas ornaments & decoration. Also, be sure to carefully check second hand and antique ornaments
for stickers before purchase, because price stickers can be used to camouflage damage or chips in ornament
Collecting Vintage Santa Claus Vintage Santa Collectors are basically a separate category of antique collectors. Antique Santa Figurines are very collectible as evidenced by the prices
at antique shows and shops where they are quite popular whenever they come up. It is important to do a lot of research if you are looking for the very
old pieces. The older pieces were made of bits of cotton batting, paper mache, chenille, twigs and die cut scraps. All of these are being reproduced, so be
sure and know what you are purchasing. Beware of pieces marked as old that are in to perfect condition, although vintage Santa's are sometimes found
in high quality condition, such items are rare and extremely expensive. Always know your dealer! Some manufactures are selling wonderful vintage
reproduction pieces. These are nice to own, if not purchased as antique. They have the old world appeal that many collectors prefer without the huge
prices. Santa figurines are being made in almost as many different ways as there are collectors to buy them. So take your time, look around and see
what appeals most to your and your budget. Always let your heart decide what you are doing, so you will always be pleased with your collections.

of unusual goodies.

When I discovered that I would be unable to get up to Ogden on Saturday or Sunday, to check out the November 7th & 8th Acorn’s Antiques Show, I decided to head up North during show set up on Friday, drop off a stack of New Century Collectors and take a look around.
Having participated in antiques shows myself for many years, I knew what I would encounter. Everyone busy display-ing their wares and working to give their booth that “just so” look. Each mini antiques shop a hub of activity, which when married together create an unmistakable atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.
The attitude of most dealers at Antiques shows seems more camaraderie and coop-eration than competition. As the day goes along, dealers tend to explore the show themselves. Snacking at the goodies pro-vided by promoter Heidi Wilcox, schmoozing with friends, meeting new dealers and always, looking to pick off that bargain hiding in another booth.
That so much work can be accomplished in so little time will never cease to be an amazement. This can be backbreaking work. Hundreds of pieces of furniture and tubs of smalls, along with tables & display fixtures are hauled into the build-ing. Over the course of the show, Each dealer will have to select his inventory, either from his show stock or cannibalized from his shop. Then, each item will be wrapped & packed, transported to the show location, unloaded, unwrapped, dis-played, hopefully sold, or, rewrapped & packed, loaded up and returned to the shop, unwrapped and redisplayed there. Whew…… what a job. How these an-tiques nomads accomplish this in such good humor is a testament to their love of the business.
And, they do it all for us. All we have to do, is cough up four bucks, and a couple of hours, to be mesmerized by the splen-dor of it all, and hopefully discover that long sought after treasure we thought we’d never find. So, I hope you got out to Acorn’s in November. If not, you missed out on a great show, and tons of fun. See you at the next one!

ANTIQUES COLLECTORS DICTIONARY
Have you ever wondered just what the heck your antiques dealer was talking about?Well, this dictionary of antiques terms will help you turn that gibberish into useful
information. We started right where you would guess, with A, and each issue we will go on to the next letter. To save you time, and us space, we will be editing out themore arcane entries (don’t worry, even your dealer doesn’t know what they mean).
Laburnum: Hard wood of yellowish tint streakedwith brown, used for parquetry veneer from the endof the seventeenth century.
Lace Glass: Vetro de trina, the finest work in thelatticino technique.
Lacquer: The art of lacquering (which was knownin China as early as the middle of the firstmillennium B.C.) originated in the discovery of theprotective properties of the sap of the lac-tree whichcan be used to coat almost any material and forms ahard semi-transparent film. Chinese lacquering fallsinto three groups: (1) the ornament raised in lowrelief; (2) painted upon the surface, and (3) cut orincised. The trade in Chinese lacquered goods wasextensive in the early eighteenth century andpatterns of cabinet work were sent out to China inthe reign of Charles II to teach the Chinese whatmanufactured goods were required for the Englishmarket. See Japanning.
Ladder-back: Chair-back with horizontal rails likea ladder, though the rails were usually curved.
Lambeth: Loosely used term for tin-enameledearthenware as made at Lambeth, Southwark andother London riverside pot works in the seventeenthand eighteenth centuries.
Lambrequin (French): A design, generally with ashaped or scalloped edge, which may be painted,chased or engraved; sometimes taking the form of apiece of drapery, it can also be imitative of lace orwrought-iron decoration.
Lancashire Chair: An oak type, with solid back panelsurmounted by lunette-shaped cresting.
Lantern Clock: Earliest type of domestic clock ingeneral use in England. See Clocks.
Latten: A base yellow alloy of zinc and copper; likebrass.
Lattice-work: Furniture (chairs particularly) of themid-eighteenth century in the Chinese taste madeuse of latticework decoration. See Fretwork.
Latticinio or Latticino: A glass decorating technique,of Venetian origin. The process, at its simplest fordrinking glass stems, involved placing opaque and/or colored canes in a mould into which clear glasswas poured. After fusion and cooling the resultantrod could be reheated and stretched to the thicknessof a glass stem, the enclosed canes becoming merethreads. Twisting supplied a spiral. The same basicprocess in more complicated forms was applied tovases and plates.
Leeds: The most important of the Yorkshire potteries,the factory founded about 1760 by the Greenbrothers, to be known from the mid-1770’s asHumble, Green & Co., by the end of the century as
Hartley, Greens & Co., and trading under severalnames and ownerships from 1820 till its close in1878. Leeds is best known for its cream ware,particularly pierced work at which the factory waspre-eminent.
Lelea, M. J. F.: French eighteenth-century cabinet-maker who worked under Oeben.
Lenticle: The ‘porthole’ in the trunk of a long-caseclock through which the pendulum bob can be seen.
Li (Chinese): Udder-shaped cooking vessel probablyfirst evolved in Neolithic pottery; the bronze Ii isconsidered the earliest of all Chinese metal vessels;stands on three feet usually.
Library Chair: Chairs made specifically for readingin the library date from the early eighteenth century.The top rail curves round to become an arm-restfrom which a canted board angles up and back toafford a rest for book or writing paper, and the readersits back to front in the chair. A Library or Readingchair of the Regency period was more likely to becaned, with removable leather-covered cushions,and to have an adjustable book-rest attached to onearm.
Library Steps: Date from about the middle of theeighteenth century. Folding steps, in combinationwith chairs, tables, and the like, are often veryingenious as regards their construction.
Library Table: A writing-table, especially, of twinpedestal type, specifically made for the library fromthe middle of the eighteenth century. A distinct type,circular or square, supported by a single pedestalwith winged legs, and having space in the frieze forbooks.
Lignum Vitae: A West Indian wood, dark brown withstrong veining and streaked with black. Importedinto England during the seventeenth and eighteenthcenturies. Very hard. Used as parquetry and inveneering.
Lille Porcelain: A soft-paste porcelain factory wasfounded at Lille, France, about 1711 and continuedin production until 1730, although production seemsto have been small and examples are rare. A hard-paste factory was established about 1784 and lasteduntil the early years of the nineteenth century.
Limbach Porcelain: A porcelain factory founded atLimbach, Thuringia, Germany, about 1772 byGotthelf Greiner for the production of useful waresthat have little artistic merit. The Greiner familyestablished several factories in Thuringia-atGrossbreitenbach, Ilmenau, Gera, and Rauenstein.

Founded in Crooksville Ohio in 1905, as aproducer of stoneware, the E. Hull PotteryCompany grew quickly, and by the 1920’swas also producing kitchen, bath waresalong with art pottery using airbrush andblended glaze techniques. From the 1940’sthrough the 1960’s, if you received a plantor flower arrangement from a florist, thereis a good chance that it arrived in a HullPottery container. Novelty planters such asbaby carriages, lambs, love birds or swansproliferated and are subsequently easilyfound today.
Of more collectibility and value, are the Hullart pottery lines produced during the 1930’s& 40’s. These pieces, usually of floral designssuch as Dogwood, Iris, Tulip, Calla Lily,Orchid, Open Rose and Wildflower, oftenincorporated a duo tone finish, and featuredmatte glazes. Although matte glazespredominated, both matte and gloss glazeswere used successfully until 1950.

PROVO CITY SHOPS
In June of 1950, a flood at the Hull potteryplant caused the red-hot kilns to explode,resulting in a fire which completelydestroyed the factory. The factory wasrebuilt form the ground up, replacing theolder machinery with modern, “state of theart” equipment. However, it was soondiscovered that the new equipment couldnot duplicate the matte glazes which hadbeen the company’s trademark for over 30years. Although Hull continued to makesome of the old patterns using a high-glossfinish, it turned to new patterns such asParchment & Pine, Sunglow, Ebb TideSerenade and Tuscany, all featuring a duotone gloss finish.
proved so popular that soon other RedRiding Hood items would follow: banks,butter dishes, creamers, pitchers, salt andpeppers, even teapots. The Red Riding Hoodfigural items continued production inproduction until the mid 1950s. These RedRiding hood continue to extremely popularwith collectors.
In the 1960’s, as America’s interest in artpottery waned, Hull, like the otherpotteries was forced move on the otherproducts, and by the 1970’s dinnerware andflorist ware were the mainstay of theirbusiness. The firm ceased production in1985.
