Book Description: <div>The Khalili Collection contains more than 300 objects that encapsulate the history of Islamic glass from its Byzantine and Sassanian antecedents to late nineteenth and early twentieth century revivals. It contains an unparalleled group of mold blown and pattern molded objects no fewer than seven of which are of the rare inscriptional type and this wealth of material has allowed comparisons to be made between vessels from the same molds. Other significant groups comprise vessels with relief, linear and facet cut decoration, as well as vessels on which decoration is pincered; applied in the form of trails and medallions; cold or lustre painted; and a group of enameled objects spanning the entire period when this technique was in fashion. Glass with scratched decoration a category known mostly through small fragments is represented here by four complete vessels.<br></div>
