Customer Reviews

For people with a glass eye, oops, an eye for glass.

As with any subject, there is a plethora of books, each covering a certain niche. This book is a great historical overview of glass from an artistic view. There are ten sections, mostly chronological, and they tell little of what was happening at the time that particular glass style and method were used. The book is full of color pictures and descriptions of the glass from different eras. I prefer the more modern, sleek sculptured designs. I have a collection of cobalt glass and a collection of amberina. Real amberina blown glass is getting scarce.
