The Legend of Bohemian Glass provides a comprehensive overview of the history and traditions of Czech art glass. Divided into twelve chapters, the book details the evolution and development of glassmaking as an art form from the earliest times, when the first glass beads appeared in central Europe, to the present day, as Czech artists create stunning pieces that inspire the awe of the art world and command prime spaces in museums and art galleries the world over. With more than 300 images of over 200 works, the author, a renowned art glass expert, has created a riveting book that marries informative text with enthralling photographs.
For those unfamiliar with the terminology of glassmaking, The Legend of Bohemian Glass includes a glossary of more than 90 terms used in the production of functional and artistic glass. The glossary also serves as a guide for the reader interested in learning more about historical and modern methods of glassmaking, surface decoration of glass, and the production of glass chandeliers, jewelry, and buttons.
