Stuttgart : Arnoldsche, 1996.

231 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 30 cm

In 186 brilliant full-color illustrations, the development of the glass production on Murano between 1910 and 1970 is documented in a vivid manner. The objects - mainly vases, bowls and figurines - show the designers' wealth of ideas. Depending on the period and applied technique, they were executed in pale colors or are of a rich coloration and dazzling in their abundance of forms. The reader is informed on the data of the most important, technically and artistically most interesting glass manufactories as well as on the cooperation between artists and designers. Technique descriptions with full-color illustrations give valuable information on production processes and decoration procedures.
To the collector or scientist, the illustrations of marks offer a welcome help in the classification of objects. This book is an ideal supplement to the publication on hand Art Glass from Murano 1910-1970 by the same author. It is to give an overview as comprehensive as possible on the glass production on Murano and demonstrate the development of glass on Murano in the 20th century: From craft art to design.
