Before you ask us for help, please read the information on this page.  Over 1,000 visitors/day visit this web site & many have questions & so to preserve our sanity, requests showing this has not been read & complied with will be deleted.
         We are happy to help folks who want to learn about pattern glass and our Pattern Glass School is the best place for our web site guests to learn. Answers to most FAQs (frequently asked questions) will be found by reading What is EAPG? and Ask Granny, so please read those before asking your question.
         We understand that many want additional help & we're happy to help when we're able. BUT, please be considerate and comply with the following requests:
Do not ask us for values. We won't go there & hope you won't either. This includes the cost of pieces we have sold.
     You are invited to visit our Book Store if you are serious about learning. There are a number of really good books about EAPG and more are in the development stage. We have rated some of the books as being the best for beginners.
     If you are a seller wanting help identifying your glass, & we are able to help you, please have the courtesy to acknowledge the help you received from PatternGlas.com in your listing.
     If you are interested in collecting 100 year old pressed glass dishes that match yours, and you are unsure of the name of your pattern(s), we will try to help.
     We don't profess to be experts but we have a lot of books & some smart friends!

     We are happy to look at your photos sent by email providing they are not over 300 dpi. If you don't know how to size your photos, please consult your photography software (or ask your grandchildren). If your grandchildren are under three years of age, they might not know, so in that case you can:
----- go to our Contact page and snail mail us a photograph, or an image made by laying a piece of your glass on a copier & scanning it, or a 'rubbing' of the pattern elements using a soft lead pencil on thin paper, or
----- provide a really good written detail of the pattern.
     If what you really want is values for your glass, we highly recommend you visit EAPGPatterns.com. They can be helpful with IDs also!
     If at all possible, please check your piece with a black light in a dark room to make sure it glows yellow-green. If clear glass doesn't glow, it is not EAPG unless its very early (pre 1870) , very heavy bell-tone flint glass. You can read more about black lights HERE.
And remember we ONLY deal with glass pressed generally during
the period ca 1850 and 1910 in America.
So that does not include 1900's depression era glass or
any pottery or china.   EMAIL US.

Roaming through our Store can help you ID some patterns
