Roman Glass Volume III In the Corning Museum of Glass
David Whitehouse
Volume Three concludes the survey of one of the world’s most extensive collections of Roman glass. Its 333 objects, most of which were made between the first and seventh centuries A.D., pendants and disks with stamped ornament worn to bring good fortune or used as tokens or weights; miscellaneous small objects including jewelry and small mirrors; imitations and forgeries, and objects not found in volumes one and two of this survey, either because they had not been catalogued prior to 2001 or because they were acquired after those dates. Each catalog entry consists of a detailed description, usually accompanied by a comment on the significance of the object and notes on similar pieces in other collections. Concordances, indexes, and an extensive bibliography are also included.
