Swedish Glass

Much has been written about modern Swedish glass in Sweden and elsewhere. Its history has been discussed at length in general works on Swedish crafts. Until this time, however, there has been no popular summary of the origins and development of glassmaking and designing. There has been no report on the artists who have given it such a richly varied expression.
