This review is from: Beyond Venice: Glass in Venetian Style, 1500-1750 (Hardcover)
The book accompanied an exhibition. It has a lot of text along with a couple of hundred photos of objects in the exhibition. Some of these are a full page in size. There are many examples of similar objects such as wine glasses from regions that sought to imitate Venice: Austria, Spain, France, and the Low Countries. Many examples of engraved and enameled glass are shown. Other styles such as carnival, pressed, cameo, etc. came after this time period.
