The beauty of glass in everyday objects from the last century-and-a-half is captured here in 180 artistic color photographs, showing how a discriminating eye can find inspiring, collectible gems among the simple containers found in antique shops and flea-market stalls.
... The book takes a stylish look at the drinking goblets, pitchers, bottles, canning jars, canisters, inkwells, apothecary jars, lanterns, beakers, and other modest items that were familiar in the daily lives of our grandparents, and shows creative ways to adapt them to today's interiors.
