Lee and Ray Grover present personally selected pieces that best represent the carved and decorated glass work done in Europe from 1880 to 1930. All of them are of outstanding quality, and together they present a truly comprehensive coverage of the field. This book of the Grovers is in every way a worthy companion volume to their ART GLASS NOUVEAU (sold separately), which received favorable press comment.

This review is from: Carved and Decorated: European Art Glass (Hardcover)
Originally published in Japan in 1970, at one time this was a rare color photo book with lots of glass styles. It has 1-3 photos per page. Although titled as "European" it is English and French glass. A single page is devoted to each of these countries: Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Germany. There are no photos from Italy or Sweden. There are some nice examples of cameo glass, unusual shapes, and modern styles. Books that will really address your passion for glass are: 1) Sotheby's Concise Encyclopedia of Glass which covers a broad range of styles and history, 2) John Sandon's Starting to Collect Antique Glass, or 3) Miller's Collecting Glass both of which have large varieties of styles and outstanding photos. I own all three as well as others.
