THE BEAUTY OF MODERN GLASS

R. Stennett-Willson

9 x 11.5 hardcover book with 128 pages and nearly 500 b/w photos and 7 full-color photos. A terrrific survey of Œ50s European Glass, with nearly 500 pieces shown ­ surprisingly light on Italian Glass, but heavy on Scandinavian and other European. A much superior book to the same authors¹ 1975 edition "Modern Glass."

From the publisher¹s description: "In the last ten years has occurred a revolution of thought, experiment and achievement. Glass manufacturers led by visionary European producers, have looked at glass and its uses in the new age with fresh eyes directed to modern needs."
