The fascinating world of glass.

To collector's and antique lovers everywhere, glass is a unique substance, its appeal ranging from flawless brilliantly-cut display pieces to simple country-kitchen utensils. The Encyclopedia of Glass is a basic work of reference for all lovers of glass, a world-wide survey of the fine art of glassmaking, illustrated throughout in colour and black and white, with over 400 line illustrations. In the first part the history of glassmaking is explored, from the earliest Middle Eastern glazes to modern times. Part 2 describes the developments in technique, from the first simple moulds to today's complicated machinery which can turn out 2 000 perfect bottles in an hour.

First published 1981 by Phoebe Phillips/Heinemann, London. Condition: Good. Jacket is somewhat scuffed and has slight wear and tear at edges and corners
