A wonderful collection and a deeply knowledgeable proprietor.
What’s visible but not often seen? Well, glass in a window would be one answer. And this extensive collection of antique American pattern glass could be another. This light-filled space in downtown Minneapolis can be seen from a busy city street, but provides a quiet atmosphere to explore artisan creativity.nSunlight filters through, and bounces from, elaborately detailed useable vessels, sized from diminutive table accessories through punch-bowls. Discriminating collectors will be intrigued, and casual visitors (like me) impressed by the display. A myriad of manufacturers are represented, and many items are unique. The curator exhibits different treatments of the same pressed glass patterns, enhancing appreciation of the underlying designs.nDeep ruby stain was the most popular decorative treatment of pressed glass in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is what people best recall from dining room displays through the decades. This collection reveals creativity far beyond ruby glass, in shape, color and artistry.nAt one time many glass factories offered an eager public this finely detailed and decorated glass. Factories closed as trends changed, but the artistry can always be appreciated.nThere is no admission charge, but donations are accepted. Katherine Lee, St. Pete Beach, Florida
