Roman Glass
Author: Stuart James FlemingPublisher: UPenn Museum of Archaeology
ISBN: 9780924171727
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Drawing analogies between the Roman society and our own, Fleming (U. of Pennsylvania Museum) presents the path of development followed by the Roman glassworking industry, and illustrates the aesthetic and technical response of an industry to changes in personal taste. Where written sources were lacking, he uses images such as manuscripts and mosaics, relief decoration on silverware and coffins, and so forth. In the foreword, he states that when he talks of glass reflecting the Roman culture, he means that it reflects the way people behaved towards one another. Contains many color illustrations.

Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
The first half of this exquisitely illustrated book examines the earliest techniques for making glass, including casting, core-forming, and mosaic. All were used for centuries prior to the development of glass blowing, in which molten glass is inflated at the end of a hollow tube. This technique, which started in the middle of the first century, led to entirely new shapes and decorative approaches. The second half of the book looks at glass made during the Roman imperial period.
