For Pairpoint Fine Arts Line Lovers...

We want to draw your attention to a NEW TAB we have added to our website. Named the FINE ARTS LINE ONLINE BOOK, this is a study of many of the controversial discussions and viewpoints that have previously made collectors tentative about purchasing Pairpoint items having plated or sterling silver components.

This book, when coupled with all of the catalog and database materials found on this website, should make any collector comfortable with pursuing Fine Arts Line products.

We hope you enjoy exploring the opinions, facts, and logical arguments presented.

Due to the size of the page, please expect a few-second delay for loading.

A New Subscriber Tab - "Archival Goodies"

8/7/2013

0 Comments

 
After spending many years with the tens of thousands of pages of archival material that made this website possible, we have started the process again. This time, however, our focus is on the matters of interest that never became part of the database project.

The "Archival Goodies" section will be the repository for all things of interest that we discover now and in the future. As you might agree, we hope this section is never completed.

Our first topic (sub-tab) is called "Changing the Pot." This is a photographic sequence showing the process of changing out a damaged or worn-out clay pot in which the glass-making ingredients are melted to make your favorite vase or bowl. Also featured are copies of the original blueprints, from 1904, showing the entire furnace and clay pot designs. These are works of art by themselves. They will also appear in the Download Center so they can be viewed in a much larger format for those engineers among us.

Make it a point to periodically go into the "Archival Goodies" section to see what has been added.

Pairpoint Lamp Technical Data is Available

Several years ago we acquired some very important documents relating to the beautiful lamps made by Pairpoint during the 1920s and 1930s. There were hundreds of pages of price lists and internal technical memos, but most unique was the original Pairpoint Price Book used during the 1920s.

On their face, they would be considered invaluable to the documentation of the Pairpoint Lamp product line. However, in practical terms, the documents aren't much use at all to anyone but an extremely advanced collector or restorer of Pairpoint Lamps.

In an effort to place everything possible into the public arena, we decided to create a database of all the information in our possession. This database is a compilation of almost 1,200 line items containing lamp shades of all types, lamp bases, light bulbs, parts, types of finishes, and more. Product numbers and decorating pattern names appear as well.

By itself, this database will be of little use, because there is no photographic cross-reference. However, if used in conjunction with the already-existing books on Pairpoint Lamps, such as Schiffer's, Malakoff's, and Wilson's (Volume 2), we think some order can be brought to better understanding the subject.

This Pairpoint Lamp Database can now be found in the Download Section, which is available to our Subscribers.

A Great Up-Date For Our Subscribers...

4/5/2013

You may have noticed that we have been doing some fine-tuning throughout the website since the launch. Well, we just made a major improvement to the way we present the Catalog Page images to you.

After testing and living with the website for a few weeks, we noticed that when we went to enlarge the Catalog Page images from within the Subscriber sections, our images started to pixilate (get fuzzy) too soon, and it was almost impossible to read the small print. Upon investigation we discovered that the website software automatically restricted the level of resolution we needed to be satisfied, even though we uploaded the files at the proper resolution.

We solved the problem by including all the Catalog Page images, in a higher-resolution JPEG format, within file folders that can be directly downloaded to your computer from the PGKC Download Center. This gives you immediate access to more than 1,100 Pairpoint Catalog Pages that you can view in great detail and manipulate using your computer's image software.

Can you imagine, as a Pairpoint Glass collector, owning and having at your fingertips 1,100+ original factory catalog pages? Even if you could find that many, you would pay a price far, far greater than our nominal Subscriber Fee.

So please visit the Download Center, located under the Subscriber tab, and download the three new Catalog Page folders to your computer.
