This volume presents 13 articles on a wide range of subjects, including vessels from the reign of Thutmose III, early glass in Asian maritime trade, glass finds in Moravia, post-medieval colored lead glass vessels, and the use of plant ashes from Syria in the manufacture of ancient glass. William Gudenrath, resident adviser at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass, offers an extended discussion of the ways in which enameled glass vessels were decorated from 1425 B.C.E. to 1800. An article by the late Frieder Ryser, a noted collector of reverse paintings on glass, focuses on a reverse painting in the Museum’s collection that depicts the Massacre of the Holy Innocents.
