This is the first major comprehensive book on the history and evolution of antique glass bottles between 1500 and 1850. Lavishly illustrated with new specially commissioned colour photography,it also includes the most comprehensive world-wide bibliography on glassbottles ever produced listing 1,150 titles. Whilst the collecting of antique drinking glasses is very popular throughout Europe, the collecting of utility bottles has, in contrast, and until very recently, been much neglected on the Continent in spite of the wide variety of artistic shapes and colours. This book has been written for all collectors, archaeologists, museums, libraries, historians, writers, researchers, institutions, bottle makers, wine and beer enthusiasts, pharmacists and anyone interested in the collecting of antiques and the social history they reflect. To render this book as comprehensive as possible, the selection of bottles has been carefully chosen from private collections with only three illustrated examples being from museums. There is also an extensive glossary of bottle-making terms
