Venetian Glass: Confections in Glass 1855-1914

Some 100 exquisite, full-page, color photographs by John Bigelow Taylor are accompanied by text from New York glass dealer Barr. They survey art glass pieces made in Venice during the 19th and 20th centuries; among them are goblets, vases, decanters embellished with dragons, serpents, birds, and flowers. Often details are also shown in closeups. No index. The CiP data shows the subtitle as Confections of the Glassmaker's Art. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
