These books present more than 860 objects from one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Roman glass. The catalog entries are arranged by technique.

Volume 1 discusses objects formed by casting or pressing, "color-band" vessels made by casting and blowing cameo glass, undecorated objects formed by blowing, blown pieces with picked-up or blobbed decoration, and objects with cut, engraved, and wheel-abraded decoration.

Volume 2 focuses on objects decorated or inscribed by inflation in a mold, objects decorated with trails or appliques, medallions and fragments of glass, and objects with painted, reverse-painted, painted and gilded, or gilded decoration. Each catalog entry consists of a detailed description, usually accompanied by a comment on the significance of the object and notes on similar pieces in other collections. Every object is illustrated, in cases by a color photograph and a line drawing that shows the profile. Each volume also includes concordances and an extensive bibliography.
