Description: This is a scarce to rare original 1914 Portieux glass catalog. The title is "Etablissement de Portieux Collection de Dessins & Prix-Courant Septieme Partie," which, if Google Translate can be trusted, is "Establishment of Portieux Collection of Drawings & Current Prices Part Seven," in English. The catalog is 15 pages inside matte gray front and back covers. The first page is blank on both sides, and has some foxing on both sides. The title page is printed in black and gray ink on both sides. Following that are 9 pages with color plates printed on the front side only. One example is shown in my last photo. After the color pages are the price pages, printed in black ink on both sides of the page, except the last page, which is blank on the back side. There is nothing printed on the insides of the cover pages. The catalog shows candlesticks, sugar bowls, butter dishes, various items, and vases. The pictures appear to have been hand drawn and colored (printed from the original drawings). There is glistening gold trim on some pieces. Condition of the catalog is very good. There is mild foxing throughout the catalog, but the first page has the most. The second page (cover page) has a small tear about 5/8 inch long. The joint or spine of the book is slightly bent. The corners of the spine are slightly bumped. Inside the back cover has some ink stains, and a small stain has transferred to the bottom of the last page (a spot about 1/4" by 1/8"). The top edge of the back cover has been bumped in a couple of places, and a very short 1/8" tear occurred 3/8 inch from the spine. [I purchased this from a book seller in Holland. The first time I put the title into Google Translate, it claimed that the original language was Dutch. That seemed plausible to me, but I really think it would be French. The next time I typed it in, Google said it is French -- so I don't know which to believe. LOL!] The shipping is free in the USA, and will be shipped by Media Mail.
