A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is the first major comprehensive book on the history and evolution of antique glass bottles, flasks and jars between 1500 and 1850.Lavishly illustrated with new special commissioned colour photography, it also includes the most comprehensive world-wide bibliography on glass bottles ever produced listing 1150 titles. Whilst the collecting of antique drinking glasses is very popular throughout Europe, the collecting of utility bottles(1500-1850) has, in contrast, and until very recently, been very much neglected on the Continent in spite of the wide variety of artistic shapes and colours. This book has been written for all collectors, archaeologists, museums, libraries, historians, writers, researchers, institutions, bottlemakers, wine and beer enthusiasts, pharmacists and anyone interested in the collecting of antiques and the social history they reflect. To render this book as comprehensive as possible, the selection of bottles has been carefully chosen from private collections with only three examples being from museums. There is also an extensive glossary of bottlemaking terms.
