Softback. Fine. Still in publishers original shrink-wrap. This book presents 155 glass vessels and objects from the Ernesto Wolf Collection, most of which have never been seen by the general public before. The oldest of these pieces date back to the early phase of the glass making art in the Tigris-Euphrates region around 1600 BC. The most recent are products from the first century AD, when the new technique of glass-blowing had begun to spread throughout the Roman Empire. Among the most outstanding features of this unique book are the magnificent colour photographs. Yet equally superb are the "technical observations" which offer an unprecedented systematic analysis of ancient glass technologies and production methods.
