Overview

The splendor of Islamic glass is revealed in this remarkable publication, the first major study of the subject in over seventy years. Glass objects rarely bear inscriptions that provide vital information, and being so readily portable, they have throughout history been carried far from their place of origin. In a feat of patient scholarship, Stefano Carboni draws on a huge range of sources in many languages and from many disciplines to produce this comprehensive history of Islamic glassmaking.
