New Book on Italian Collectible Glassware Reaches US Market

copyright 2000 Collector Glass News - NG, the new book on Italian Glassware.
Cover of the new book on Nutella and other collectible glassware of Europe.
     A clear indication that collectible glassware has come of age is the release of a collectible drinking glass price guide from Europe. It wasn't long ago that when you asked a European antiques and collectible dealer. "Do you have any glasses?" you got a blank look or a dismissive response. There just weren't enough collectible glasses in this part of the world to warrant collecting them -- outside of a few Coca-Cola collectors. Nutella during the 1990's caught on to the craze and began issuing their chocolate spread on cartoon decorated tumblers. We've run a number of articles on Nutella releases from Italy and Australia over the past ten years. Most of the time we had to do detective work to determine how many glasses were in the sets and which glasses belong to which sets. Now we have resource to answer these questions. NG bicchieri promozioali is a wonderful full-color catalog identifying most all of the European Nutella and related issues. Each set is carefully documented with measurements, countries of issue, character information, and price (requires conversion from euro dollars or lire. The 128 page book is written in four languages including English, so collectors won't have any trouble following the information. We have been able to import a quantity of these terrific price guides and are offering them for $16.00 postage paid. Order them from our secure server.
