Dodsworth presents a concise history of glass production, focusing on British traditions from Roman times to the 20th century. The book covers techniques such as blowing, moulding, and cutting, and profiles key centres like Stourbridge. It also examines the social role of glass from utilitarian vessels to decorative art and includes examples of domestic, industrial, and luxury wares. With clear explanations and evocative illustrations, it's a fine primer on the craft and culture of glass. 32 pages, illustrated throughout. Small books, big content. Shire Publications serve up bite-sized journeys into bygone days and ways, from agricultural hand tools to wartime heroines. Richly illustrated and surprisingly informative, they're the perfect mix of nostalgia, curiosity, and collector's delight. Whether you're a history buff or a casual skimmer of quirky topics, these little volumes pack a proper punch without bruising your budget.
