"The Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, houses the world's premier glass collection. Dedicated to the history, art, and manufacture of glass, the Museum opened in May 1951 with a collection of just over 2,000 objects. Today, it boasts a stunning, comprehensive array of more than 35,000 works that document, often with outstanding examples, every period and place in which glassmaking has flourished.".
"A Decade of Glass Collecting records the growth of the Museum's collection in the 1990s. The objects, which range in date from the last few centuries B.C. to the present, were made in Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, and include both useful objects and works of art. The variety is remarkable, encompassing tableware, mosaics, jewelry, stained glass, lighting devices, and furniture."--BOOK JACKET.
