Whilst the collecting of antique drinking glasses is very popular throughout Europe, the collecting of utility bottles, flasks and jars has until recently very much neglected on the Continent in spite of the wide variety of shapes and colours. This book has been written for all collectors, archeologists, museums, libraries,historians, researchers, writers, institutions, bottlemakers, wine and beer enthusiasts, pharmacists and anyone interested in the collecting of antiques and the social history they reflect. It includes the most comprehensive world-wide bibliograpy on glass bottles ever produced, listing 1,150 titles,an extensive glossary and a separate 16-page price guide booklet.
The history and evolution of glass bottles is chronologically (1500-1850, the pre-industrial period) described in a general chapter.
Bottles illustrated in the book are systematically classified in separate chapters by country :Great Britain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Scandinavia, Alpine Countries, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and America.
