"The world-renowned beauty and value of Tiffany glass lamps, vases, and windows are legendary. But few know that the masterful pieces from the Tiffany's firm would not have been possible without Arthur Nash, developer of the now-priceless Favrile glass, and his son Leslie, director of the Tiffany Furnace's divisions of glassmaking, pottery, and enamel.

Leslie's notebooks, along with annotations and references, provide an invaluable firsthand account of the studio's heyday while introducing the largest collection of heretofore unseen images of its earliest pieces. This historical find is a remarkable event in the decorative arts world and will appeal to both collectors and museums as well as those who use eBay and watch Antiques Road Show."--BOOK JACKET.
