This new edition of a book widely recognized as definitive will make Nineteenth Century
Glass even more vital to the collector and the historian. Color photographs illustrating thirty-five objects and over fifty new black-and-white photographs have been included.
New material based on the author's continuing research has also been added.
The nineteenth century may be considered the Golden Age in the history of glassware, for at no other time, since its discovery more than 5000 years ago, were more accumulated glass skills and decorative techniques manifested in the comparatively short space of one century. The industrial revolution, the relaxation of government controls on the glass industry, and a pride of craftsmanship born of freedom were among the major contributing factors to the remarkable development of glass during this period.
