Reviews of the UK edition: ""Enough insight to satisfy the knowledgeable enthusiast and general facts to become an essential introduction for the novice." " -- Antique Collector ""Profusely and excellently illustrated." " -- Royal Society of Arts Journal The fragile beauty of glass has ensured its popularity through the ages in forms ranging from simple beakers to decorative masterpieces. Along with five expert contributors, Hugh Tait traces the history of glass from its origins in western Asia some 5000 years ago, through the invention of glassblowing around the first century BC, to the introduction of mechanized processes and new styles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book highlights the flourishing industries of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, the elegant vessels of the Islamic Near East, the superb mastery of Renaissance Venice. Bringing the story right up to date, the final chapter explores how artists have worked in glass from 1940 to the present day, showcasing the latest masters of the art form.
