Marvels of glass-making in all ages
Marvels of Glass-Making in All Ages is an 1869 London survey of glass manufacture and glassware by Alexandre Sauzay, written for a general readership interested in the history of the craft. Its engravings are oval-framed, shaded still-life studies of ewers, goblets and vessels set on plain tabletops, with a few numbered plates of Roman-era glass fragments and a glassworking apparatus, giving designers clear models of silhouette, ribbed surface and dark-ground lighting.
