Glass: A Pocket Dictionary of Terms
Revised Edition

This short dictionary, originally published in 1993, is intended to help students and collectors of glass to understand some of the unfamiliar words they may encounter in books, catalogs, and museum labels. It contains definitions of words and phrases that describe glassmakers' materials, techniques, tools, and products. Words that appear in boldface type in the definitions have their own entries elsewhere in the dictionary.

The illustrations depict objects from The Corning Museum of Glass. They are described on pages 91&94.

Many of the definitions in the original edition were based on the glossary in the catalog that accompanied the exhibition, "Treasures from The Corning Museum of Glass," which was shown at the Yokohama Museum of Art in 1992. The catalog was produced jointly by the Corning and Yokohama museums.
