"Reflecting Antiquity" is the companion catalog to a groundbreaking exhibition organized by The Corning Museum of Glass and The J. Paul Getty Museum. The exhibit focused on the influence of ancient Roman styles on the glassmakers of the 19th century. In this book, essays by noted historians Dunja Zobel-Klein and Michael J. Klein, as well as glassmakers William Gudenrath, Mark Taylor, and David Hill, explore the manufacture of ancient glass and the history of modern imitations. David Whitehouse discusses several styles of ancient glass that inspired 19th-century glassmakers: cameo glass, gold glass, cage cups, and mosaic glass.

"European Glass Furnishings for Eastern Palaces" was written as a supplement to The Corning Museum of Glass's major 2006 exhibition, "Glass of the Maharajahs." This colorful book traces the development of glass furnishings, especially pieces created for Eastern rulers at the turn of the 19th century. It explores a little-known era in glassmaking history, when European glass manufacturers tailored one-of-a-kind and limited-production glass furnishings to the tastes of the wealthy Indian elite.
