From the Back Cover
Met Glass made transparent schreef antiquair Tiny Esveld een praktische gids over glas vervaardigd door de grote Franse glaskunstenaars Gallé, Daum en Schneider. Het boek geeft vakkundig inzicht in de techniek en fabricage om dat is de opzet zowel liefhebbers als kenners en verzamelaars van dit prachtige en bijzonder soort glas voor miskopen te behoeden. Want bedrog komt in de wereld van antiek glas veel voor. De valkuilen bij aankoop zijn talrijk. Maar geen bedrog slim of geslepen genoeg of Esveld ontmaskert het in Glass made transparent, de eerste onthullende publicatie in zijn soort. Het boek is een nuttige, mooi vorm gegeven en rijk geïllustreerde handleiding. Logisch van opbouw en praktisch in het gebruik. Frans glas heeft voortaan geen geheimen meer. Glass made transparent verschijnt in het Engels, met samenvattingen in het Frans, Nederlands en Spaans, en wordt behalve in een gedrukte editie ook uitgebracht als e-book.
Glass made transparent maakt de lezer in acht hoofdstukken wegwijs in de wereld van Gallé, Daum en Schneider, de grote Franse glaskunstenaars uit de periode 1890-1930. Esveld beschrijft de schoonheid en artisticiteit van hun glaskunst, maar meer nog doet ze de technische kanten ervan uit de doeken. Dit boek helpt om echt van vals te onderscheiden, puntgave objecten van beschadigde, oog te krijgen voor bijgeslepen of samengesteld. Het leert gevoel te ontwikkelen voor perfecte vormgeving en modellen, bewust te kijken naar decoratie, kleur, afwerking en signatuur én het wijst op alle trucs die in vroegere tijd en vandaag de dag zijn toegepast om de argeloze koper om de tuin te leiden. Alleen gave stukken zijn kostbaar en blijven waardevol voor al het andere betaalt men altijd teveel op veilingen of e-bay, waar men koopt voor eigen risico.
Tiny Esveld, an antique dealer, has written a practical guide book called Glass made Transparent about art glass produced by the great French glass artists Gallé, Daum and Schneider. The main objective of the book is to give a professional insight into the technique and production of these beautiful and exceptional pieces in order to protect lovers, connoisseurs and collectors from making a mistake. The world of glass is unfortunately full of deception. The pitfalls accompanying a purchase can be plentiful but however fraudulent or deceitful Esveld reveals all in Glass made Transparent, the first revealing publication of its kind. The book is a beautifully designed guidebook rich in illustration with excellent practical guidelines. French glass no longer maintains any secrets. Glass made Transparent is published in the English language with a resume in French, Dutch and Spanish and is also available as an e-book publication.
Glass Made Transparent guides the reader in eight chapters through the world of the great French glass artists Gallé, Daum and Schneider of the period 1890 1930. Esveld not only describes the beauty and artistry of their glass art but also reveals the technical side of their creations in great detail. This book helps to detect a genuine example from a falsification, a flawless piece from a damaged one and it trains the eye for any cut glass or combinations of pieces put together. It educates the reader to develop a feeling for the perfect style and shape, to learn to look sharply at the decoration, colour, finish and signature of its maker. It also points out all the applied tricks of the trade of the past and present day in order to deceive the unsuspecting buyer. Only the flawless pieces remain expensive and maintain their value. All the others bought at ones own risk, either at auctions or on e-bay are always paid over the top.
