| This comprehensive guide describes the great variety of glass vessels and other objects, according to their intended use - for drinking, for serving food, for lighting, display, and personal use. In the bulk of the book the chief period and national characteristics are also detailed. There is a section on popularly collected styles and artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, from Nailsea and Biedermeier to Art Deco and Amberina. The chapter on collecting provides specific information on how to examine and care for pieces, with advice on restoration, the detection of fakes, and reproductions. The photographs, most of which were specially commissioned for this book, illustrate objects chosen from specialist dealers and salerooms over a period of a year. The line drawings provide complementary information on technical and stylistic features. 240 photographs, 120 in colour; 95 line drawings.
