Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon Glass in the British Museum

by Vera I. Evison

This definitive book on Anglo-Saxon glass by major scholars in the field is the first monograph to be published on the subject. It focuses not only on the British Museum collection but provides a detailed discussion of the various types of early Anglo-Saxon glass (vessels, plus gems, beads and window glass), placing it in its English context, but also drawing widely on Continental and Scandinavian early medieval glass. This is complemented by new scientific and technological research on early-medieval glass making in England, on the Continent and in the Mediterranean. The illustrated catalogue also provides information on provenances, collectors and excavators, plus distribution maps and a gazetteer of Anglo-Saxon glass. 142p, 36 plates of line drawings, 24 full colour images, 8 distribution maps (British Museum Research Publication 167, British Museum 2008)

Review Quote

"This book is an essential reference for all scholars of Anglo-Saxon culture, and will doubtless serve as a primary reference in glass studies for some considerable time to come."
