Hi All,

I want to buy some more glass reference books and I thought it might be an idea to ask for your recommendations.  What would be your "must have" book if you could only have one or two on glass?

Lately I have found myself particularly drawn to Scandinavian glass, but it's very hard to tell them apart - at least in the beginning.

Thank you
Cat

As the author of "Scandinavian Glass - Creative Energies" I tried to present the theme of artists coming to the glass works and working with artisans to create not only works of art but "glass for everyday use". My book has many photos not only of art glass but production works trying to show the interdependence between the two forms. Featured are Finnish and Swedish glass.

Ivo's Glass Fact File A-Z, Millers, is essential IMHO, and the first book every collector should get.

Pinkspoons:
Which I've still not got!  :oops:

I will eventually get it, honest.

Della:
I find Ivo's book really informative and have referred to it on numerous occasions. The only problem is the tiny writing.  :cry:

I have just treated myself to Bill's book, for my birthday, so as yet I cannot comment on it as it has not arrived.  :cry:

For Scandinavian glass, I can recommend Smoke & Ice or Fire & Sea, both by the same authors, Leslie Pina & Lorenzo Vigier, so count as one (to my reckoning anyhow).  :wink:
