About This Item
New York: Bramhall House, 1956. Hardcover. Very Good/good +. This book begins with a brief history of English glass-making, with particular reference to the development of England's world-renowned flint-glass, incidentally throwing new light on such details as the terms single and double-flint glass. This is followed by a clear-cut survey of drinking glass forms, in stem, bowl and foot, and of decoration in engraving, cutting, gilding and enamelling, handled plainly but with technical exactitude. Comprehensive accounts of Scottish and Irish glass cover ground that hitherto has been peculiarly subject to neglect and misrepresentation. 408 pages, previous owner's name and address on front pastedown, dust wrapper worn a bit, but in brodart. 2lb
