Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs and drawings, A History of Glassforming is a singular and important book for historians, connoisseurs, and students of glass.

This newest publication in the popular Looking At series deals with glass terminology. The often arcane technical terms relating to the production and decoration of glass, as well as names of special shapes of glass beakers, are defined in succinct language. Ranging from ancient Roman moldmade glass to modern pressed glass, this glossary is a handy guide for museum-goers and anyone interested in the art of glassmaking. Illustrated with samples of Roman, Renaissance, Victorian, and modern glass, as well as engravings showing glassmakers at work, the book is both a visual delight and an informative small reference work. Objects shown are from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum; the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York; and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. A short bibliography rounds out the volume.

"This book examines ways by which artists have explored the fascination and meaning of stone. Those who sculpt with the chisel, grind pigments, create landscapes, fashion jewellery or work with graphite are connecting directly with the rock beneath their feet. Early people drew or painted on the rockface and fashioned flint. More recently humankind has selected stone to build and sculpt and has consistently conferred values, properties and meanings upon selected stones."--BOOK JACKET.
