Hardback coffee table book featuring international works of modern glass. By Geoffrey Beard, published in 1976.

"Glass attracts attention by its extraordinary and technical properties. It is usually transparent and may be decorated in a variety of ways, is so hard that a diamond is needed to scratch it, so timid that it can shatter to fragments in over-hot water. Made of simple components it has been, and still is displayed at countless exhibitions throughout the world, and its long history contains many notable landmarks and achievements. It is the purpose of this book to chart those of more recent times."

Condition: Very good, light vintage wear.
