Bemerkung:

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Text französisch, englisch, flämisch. - Written for the general public, this history of glass in daily life in Belgium provides greater insight into the marvellous world of glassmakers from the time of the Celts down to the post-World War II period. A master glassmaker turns a simple object into a work of art, as the examples selected from our museums and from prestigious private collections clearly attest. A qualified historian of art and archeology, Ann Chevalier is also a distinguished architectural historian who has cultivated a scholarly affection for glass. She is currently the curator of the Museum of Archeology and Decorative Arts in Liège, which houses the richest collection of glass in Belgium. ISBN 9782870094389
