This book commemorates the 250th anniversary of Sweden’s Kosta glassworks. The emphasis is on the development of artistic expression at Kosta during the last 100 years, but the book also reflects the constant struggle for public favor between the boldly innovative and traditional, more conventional designs. A fascinating history of the company and an overview of its groundbreaking techniques are included. The works depicted are exquisitely beautiful. This is a book for all art libraries, and all collectors and lovers of glass.
