IOLA, Wis. (October 13, 2009) – The beauty, intriguing history and rich design of depression glass will be the focus of an upcoming online seminar hosted by Antique Trader magazine and presented by noted glass expert Ellen Schroy. This online seminar is the only one of its kind, and an event not to be missed!

Schroy, a respected appraiser and author of several antiques references including Warman’s® Depression Glass, will serve as the presenter for the Nov. 5 event which will be held live online beginning at 8 p.m. EST. During this open-dialogue event Schroy will discuss the history of depression glass, the manufacturing process, popular patterns, recent market trends and research involving depression glass, and accurately assessing the value of a piece, as well as provide hints for detecting fakes and reproductions among patterns and tips for identifying patterns by design.

Throughout and following the hour-long online seminar participants will be able to ask questions of Schroy.
