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 buying by mistake.

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.
