Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1996

If you are dazzled by the beauty of millefiori canes, then you will love The Glass Menagerie. This guide to the world of silhouette canes contains over 150 blow-ups of silhouettes in full color. Hawley accompanies his photography with well-researched speculation about why each cane was made, pointing out particularly fine silhouettes and identifying those canes which are rare finds. The Glass Menagerie is the first book to take an in-depth look at the art of silhouette canes. It is an essential addition to the library of any collector.
