4-0 out of 5 stars A well illustrated history of this rare art
This book covers the almost lost art of point engraving on glass. The history is quite thorough, from the Romans to the Renaisance, to modern times. The photographs of point engraved glass are just incredible (as apoint engraver myself, it's an extremely hard subject to photograph well).The author has included photographs of his own work, which do not dominatethe book, but rather serve to illustrate that this a subject of which Mr.Whistler has great personal mastery. The bowl on page 63 isincredible.

Beware, if you're looking to get started in teh field, thisbook is a history, not a how-to. Also, point engraving is an incrediblytime consuming, thankless art. ... Read more
