As far as I know Marian amassed at least seven hundred bottles, several of which grave these pages. The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York is where she left a large part of her collection when she died, with the balance dispersed by auction in the United States during December 1998." excerpt from the introduction by Robert Hall.; "As is well know, much of Marian Mayer collection was bequeathed to the Museum of Glass in Corning, but a good deal of it, including many superb examples, eventually turned up at auction not far from where she used to live, on Cape Cod. Bob Hall managed to attend and bought the bulk of the bottles from her estate, which are offered here." excerpt from the foreword by Hugh Moss..
