1967 VIKING ART GLASS BOOK  This 40-page book, published in 1967, describes and illustrates the glass manufacturing process from start to finish. The Viking factory is featured, but the basic information applies to all hand-glass plants. Moldmaking, glass formulas, etching, and other glassmaking techniques are clearly explained. More than 20 Viking products are pictured. This book had been stored in the factory's warehouse, forgotten, for over thirty years. A great way to learn about an under appreciated and under valued glass company.
