About This Item
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1962. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo (super). Translated from the German by Michael Bullock and Alisa Jaffa. ix, 110 p.p. + 76 p.p. B&W plates.

The author traces the history of glass-making from its origins in Egypt before 2000 B.C. through successive developments that were brought about in Syria, by the Jews in Palestine, and the Roman and Byzantine empires - from the latter of which the glass-makers of Venice inherited much of their lore and skill. Neuburg covers the development of colour, lthe techniques involved in making glass beads and of millefiori, glass thread, mosaic, and other types of decoration, and the developments in the methods of making glass - particularly the discovery of glass blowing - which radically affected the shapes of vessels.
