Glass : from Sasanian antecedents to European imitations

"Professor Nasser D. Khalili has been forming his collection of Islamic art since 1970. This is one of several collections assembled under the aegis of the Khalili Family Trust. Others include Japanese art of the Meiji period, Indian and Swedish textiles, and Spanish damascened metalwork. These are being presented to the public in a series of exhibitions and well-researched, beautifully illustrated publications which will form the most comprehensive surveys of their subjects to date. The publication of the collections is now complete, with the exception of the Islamic catalogues, which will be complemented by a series of academic studies and facsimile reproductions of key manuscripts."--Jacket
