Zusammenfassung:This encyclopaedic new edition of 'The Decanter' bolsters the book's reputation as the definitive work on the subject. The Decanter is born of twenty years' extensive research. This edition is enlivened by several new chapters and the inclusion of two thousand new photographs and illustrations, most previously unpublished. In presenting the subject across a broad timescale - ranging from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern day - 'The Decanter' presents the history of glassmaking from a decanter perspective. The engaging, accessible text explores the stylistic and technical evolution of fine glassmaking alongside its influences and social uses. Drawing from thousands of documentary sources and benefiting from the knowledge and experience of scores of experts in Britain, Europe and the United States, 'The Decanter' is the most comprehensive history of fine glassmaking ever published
