informative little book for everyone

Ancient Egyptian faience is a marvel to look at, leading to the question of what makes it such a beauty and how it is made. This book answers this brilliantly, and also details the history of the vitreous materials from the Predynastic onwards. Items made included amulets and large vessels : Why were they made ? How was glass manufactured ? The perceived mysteries behind the Ancient Egyptian masterpieces are themselves explained in this masterful book. Required reading for laypeople and scholars.
