The authors write on a variety of topics where their work is at the forefront of new approaches to the subject. They both extend and consolidate aspects of our understanding of how glass was produced, traded and used throughout the Empire and the wider world drawing on chronology, typology, patterns of distribution, and other methodologies, including the incorporation of new scientific methods. Though focusing on a single material the papers are firmly based in its archaeological context in the wider economy of the Roman world, and consider glass as part of a complex material culture controlled by the expansion and contraction of the Empire" Includes bibliographical references.

  • Comparative Study of Leaf, Arabesque and Ivy Motifs in Egyptian Fatimids Glass and Seljuks of Iran1
    Volume 6 Issue 1 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND June 2019 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Comparative Study of leaf, arabesque and Ivy motifs in Egyptian Fatimids glass and Seljuks of Iran1 Seyed Reza Hoseini2, Parisa Mohammadi3 Abstract: During the Islamic period, the art of glassware grew considerably in the era of the Fatimids of Egypt and at the same time during the Seljuqs dynasty of Iran. The coexistence of these two dynasties and the relationships between them can provide the basis for following the characteristics of each works. The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of the form and also to identify the similarities and differences in plant motifs of leaves, arabesque and ivy motifs in glassware of these two dynasties. Accordingly, the following question arises: What are the similarities and differences in the plant motifs of leaves, arabesque and ivy motifs in the Fatimids and Seljuks glassware? In order to answer this question, 55 works were employed; among them,19 items of the Fatimids dynasty glassware and 17 items of the Seljuqs dynasty glassware with mentioned motifs have been compared. Using a descriptive analytical approach, this comparative-historical research has been conducted based on the library resources. The results show that in Fatimids works, palm leaves are often similar to the original form of the leaf, in the form of a triangle and decorated with golden colour, which can indicate the importance of the motif, but in the Seljuqs works, the leaves have different forms and often an abstract form. Two dynasties' motifs were common in the use of empty space and curved forms.

  • Reflecting Antiquity Explores the Rediscovery of Roman Glass and Its Influence on Modern Glass Production
    Reflecting Antiquity explores the rediscovery of Roman glass and its influence on modern glass production. It brings together 112 objects from more than 24 lenders, featuring ancient Roman originals as well as the modern replicas they inspired. Following are some of the highlights on view in the exhibition. Portland Vase Base Disk The Portland Vase is the most important and famous work of cameo glass to have survived from ancient Rome. Modern analysis of the vase, with special attention to the elongation of the bubbles preserved in the lower body, suggest that it was originally shaped as an amphora (storage vessel) with a pointed base. At some point in antiquity, the vessel suffered some damage and acquired this replacement disk. The male figure and the foliage on the disk were not carved by the same Unknown artist that created the mythological frieze on the vase. Wearing a Phrygian cap Portland Vase Base Disk Roman, 25 B.C.–A.D. 25 and pointing to his mouth in a gesture of uncertainty, the young man is Paris, a Glass Object: Diam.: 12.2 cm (4 13/16 in.) prince of Troy who chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena as the most beautiful British Museum.

Signature: …………………. Date: ………………………. Abstract 2 Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the development of glass as an expressive medium in China through direct contact with Western methods of making, decoration and forming glass. The investigation proceeds through an analysis of the parallels between glass objects produced from Kangxi (1662-1722) to Qianlong period (1736-96), and contemporary practitioners’ (2000-2009), which is complemented by my own practice. The investigation mainly looks at three aspects and their inter-relationship within these strands. They are: 1) the history of glassmaking from 1696 to 1795 in the Qing dynasty with Western influences; 2) the analysis of Contemporary Chinese studio/academic glass within the imported UK model; 3) the development of my personal glass practice within this matrix.

    Brill, R. H. "Some Chemical Observations on the Cuneiform Glassmaking Texts." Annales du 5e Congrès de l’Association Internationale pour l’Histoire du Verre. Liège: Edition du Secrétariat Général, 1972, pp. 329-351. SOME CHEMICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE CUNEIFORM GLASSMAKING TEXTS by Robert H. BRILL, Administrator, Scientific Research, The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning Professor A. Leo Oppenheim, of the Oriental Institute, has recently prepared a new translation of the well-known Assyrian cuneiform glassmaking texts. His translation forms the basis of a book which will appear shortly after this symposium ('). The importance of these texts lies in the fact that on the basis of earlier translations (2) it was believed that they were «recipes» for making glasses. But there has always lingered in the minds of at least a few glass special­ ists (the present author included) some doubts as to the validity of this conclusion. For example, such doubts were voiced unequivocally by Dr. Frederic Schuler at the VIth International Congress on Glass in 1962 (S). Speaking only for myself, these doubts were not based upon any questioning of the scholarship of the earlier translators, but rather upon the fact that the evidence they were able to garner at "that time seemed less than totally convincing, and there remained a distinct possibility that the materials described in the texts were related to glasses but were not necessarily true glasses. Because these texts are so important to the study of the early history of glass making it has always been hoped that someday the question could be resolved conclusively one way or the other.
