Major topics within this volume's alphabetical range include Cape Cod (No. 160), Caramel Slag, Carnival Glass (old and new), Cathay, Free Hand, Ice, Lace Edge, and Lead Lustre. Hundreds of other subjects are covered in depth -- patterns (Early American Hobnail and other Depression-era wares), colors (Golden Green), shapes (gas globes and shades), etchings (Garden Arbor), and limited editions (Christmas Plates) -- to name just a few.

Well illustrated throughout, the 80 color pages feature both original photos and outstanding reprints from Imperial catalogs. A comprehensive index lists all subjects covered in both Volume I and II. Volume II has surprises for even the most knowledgeable collectors.
