“Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval Glass, 10 BCE to 700 CE. Ernesto Wolf Collection” By E. Marianne Stern. Published by Hatje Cantz in 2001. description continues below the picture- - - - DISCUSSION: "Far more rare than the ceramic, stone, and metal artifacts of ancient peoples that are the staple of archaeological museums, glassware also has a long history in Western civilization. The revolutionary Roman invention of the glassblowing iron in the 1st century BC made it possible to produce large numbers of light, thin-walled glass vessels, and resulted in an outburst of artistic creativity throughout the empire. More than 225 exquisite objects, some over 2,000 years old, are presented here in color photographs and precise descriptions-some as delicate and beautifully formed as fine glassware today." DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 10"x11", 427 pages, color and line illustrations, dust jacket.
