(I thought someone on this group might find this book of interest)
Paperback 288 pages (3 August, 2000) , Publisher: Little, Brown; ISBN:
0316854514

This book tells the story of all the major developments in the history of
glass from its beginnings in Pre-Roman times. The major styles of glass and
the techniques used to make it are traced from the third millennium BC
through the Roman era and the Dark Ages, into medieval times and the
magnificent stained glass works of that time. The rise of Venice as the
pre-eminent glass-making centre during the Renaissance and its subsequent
influence on the glass industry for the next five centuries is described.
The development of the heavier lead glass in the 18th century paved the way
for new styles of decoration on glass, including cutting and engraving. The
fashion for Art Nouveau heralded the modern era of the 20th century where
functionalism and simplicity was favoured, while the use of glass in
architecture and industry has become more and more widespread with the
development of new techniques. The text contains illustrations, making the
book a visual presentation of all kinds of glassware as well as a useful
work of reference for all students and lovers of the decorative arts.

This book is in excellent condition!



Can post worldwide.



Thanks for looking.

Simon
