Paul Getty Museum's collection of ancient glass-astonishingly delicate, richly hued, and fancifully shaped-is among the most celebrated in the United States. With objects ranging from the Bronze Age to the medieval period (1500 BCE-1000 CE), the 584 works included in this publication originated from a wide geographical area, including the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and central Europe.This catalogue, written by acclaimed scholar Anastassios Antonaras, begins with a fascinating essay on the history of glassmaking-a highly technical art form that is still practiced similarly today-and continues with detailed and informative entries on the pieces. Each entry is accompanied by vivid photography. The book also includes a history of the collection, glossary of glassmaking terms, technical study, and full bibliography. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at getty.edu\/publications\/ancient-glass\/ and includes 360-degree views and zoomable high-resolution photography.
