American Brilliant Glass Education and Research - HBG
This new section provides information reproduced from the website that was originally developed by Warren and Teddie Biden for the House of Brilliant Glass (abbreviated "HBG" throughout this section). The Biden website was a carefully curated treasure trove of information that was developed by combining original research by Jim Havens together with more recent sales records and independent research by the Bidens and other collectors. The extensively-researched book, "A Guide to American Cut and Engraved Glassware" by Jim Havens, will be available here shortly.
