BOOK: 'Sklo Union - Art Before Industry: 20th Century Czech Pressed Glass' by Marcus Newhall
|
|
|
|
I really can't recommend this book enough to enthusiasts of Sklo Union (Czech) glass. Representing the culmination of 10 years work by the author, Marcus Newhall, it cements his reputation as one of the leading experts on Czech pressed glass. 'Sklo Union - Art Before Industry' contains a wealth of previously unpublished information about the history, design, manufacture and production of Czech glass and is complimented by Simon Bruntnell's breathtaking photography. Hard-backed, it comes with a searchable CD-rom containing copies of original catalogues and a database of over 4,500 images.
An essential addition to the library of all Sklo Union and Czech pressed glass collectors - I simply don't know how I managed for so long without it!
