Description
The ancient glass collection at the MAS is a remarkable treasure trove. For the first time, its 150-strong subcollection is being published in a comprehensive catalogue. This collection offers a unique insight into fragile Roman, Merovingian, Byzantine and Early Arabian glass tableware, alongside more conventional objects such as Roman toiletry items. The catalogue features detailed descriptions of each object, accompanied by high-quality photographs. It also includes some jewellery and a few modern replica pieces of ancient glass. A section at the end provides archaeological drawings, adding an extra layer of depth to this historical outline. This publication is a valuable resource for anyone interested in design, decorative arts, social science or archaeology, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of glassmaking.
