The Glass of the Sultans
The book refers to the techniques of producing and decorating glass in the Islamic world from the 7th to the 19th century. The publication paralleled the exhibition of the same name at the Benaki Museum, which was organised by the Metropolitan Museum of New York and the Corning Museum of Glass. It includes extensive scientific descriptions, as well as an analysis of the chemical components of Islamic glass. There are detailed treatises on undecorated blown glass, mould-blown glass, hot-worked glass, mosaic glass, cut and engraved glass, painted glass, as well as on topics such as glass in the age of empires and imitations of Islamic glass.
