Description

CONTINENTAL COLOURED GLASS
by Keith Middlemas, Barrie and Jenkins, London, 1971.
Illustrated with captioned color photographs, this early out-of-print book “traces the fascinating development of colored glass in Europe from the height of the Roman Empire to the epoch of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, showing how the glassmaking art survived the fall of Rome, was preserved in France and in the vernacular tradition of the Rhineland and was brought to a peak in the sixteenth century by Venetian craftsmen in the
Facon de Venise
.”
”Individual chapters cover the growth of fine glassmaking in Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands and the sections on the early nineteenth century and on Art Nouveau are particularly detailed and are of special interest to American collectors.”
