Meisterwerke aus Glas

Today, glass has become commonplace. The former luxury item has become a disposable product.
How does a glass become a masterpiece? Transparency or luminous color? The pure effect of the material or a precious ornamentation of the surface? The collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum contains a large stock of drinking and table glasses as well as numerous other objects made of this mostly transparent material. This book presents about 50 of them. It provides insights into the development of hollow glass, beginning with antiquity and extending to the 1950s, and also shows the diversity of the material by means of objects that were used in a wide variety of areas.

Sabine Tiedtke, curator for the exhibition "Masterpieces of Glass" at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg is interested in topics around arts and crafts, such as Nuremberg wheel engraved glasses and pewter of the 20th century.
