Descripción
This hardcover book of 192 full color pages presents the glass collection of the hidden gem at the MAS (Antwerp, Belgium).
It is part of a valuable glass collection numbering nearly 700 objects and is on a par with other international subcollection of ancient glass is published in this comprehensive catalogue.
The ancient glass collection held at the MAS contains alongside more conventional objects, such as Roman toiletry items, some quite remarkable pieces that appear only rarely in international collections. The collection of approximately 150 ancient objects provides a historical outline of fragile Roman, Byzantine and Early Arabian glass tableware. The catalogue also includes some jewellery and a few modern replica pieces of ancient glass. Each object is described in detail and illustrated with high quality photographs. A section has been added at the end of the catalogue providing archaeological drawings.
A richly illustrated introduction chapter about the history of the MAS collection and of the institution itself illuminates how the glass collection has grown to become the extensive collection that we see today. On the one hand the ancient glass collection is made up of archaeological glassware collected from the Antwerp region, while on the other it owns itself to the acquisition of European and Mediterranean glass collections put together by collectors from Antwerp.
This catalogue is intended for lovers of glassware and scholars alike.
