Modernistic-New Martinsville Glass Manufacturing Company-Chris Shoemaker (2023)

Description: .The New Martinsville Glass Manufacturing Company brought out an unprecedented pattern at the end of 1928, their Line #33, Modernistic. As the pattern name suggests, this line bridged the gap between Modernism and Art Deco. This severely simple pyramidal pattern exemplifies the best of the Art Deco era, and lends itself to a variety of decorative treatments. Little documentation of this line is available and heretofore has been scattered among many different publications. This is the first comprehensive look at the Modernistic line, clearly illustrating the limited number of forms made in the pattern, all of the known production colors (with the exception of canary, mentioned in one primary source, but an example of which has not yet turned up), and many unusual decorations, both factory done and from outside decorating companies. The line is especially strong in the production of vanity items, but also includes console bowls, candlesticks, candy jars, creams and sugars, and vases. This book is a must for lovers of Art Deco and belongs in the library of every collector of New Martinsville glass. Written by Chris Shoemaker. Published by The Glass Flakes Press, ISBN 979-8-9883853-5-6. If you are a member of WVMAG (at the $35.00 or above level), you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment. About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
