THE HISTORY OF GLASS
HARDCOVER - 288 PAGES
EXCELLENT CONDITION
Book Description
Publication Date: August 3, 2000
Written by a team of experts, 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 eighteenth 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 twentieth 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 authoritative, clearly written text and lavish illustrations make this book a visually exciting presentation of all kinds of glassware as well as an invaluable work of reference for all students and lovers of the decorative arts.
