International Association for the History of Glass // Despina Ignatiadou, Anastassios Antonaras (eds.)
ANNALES du 18e Congres de l’ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONALE pour l’HISTOIRE du VERRE
<p>Conference Proceedings. Papers in English French German. Soft cover 30 cm 512 pp. ill.</p><p><em><strong>Preface by </strong></em><strong>Marie-Dominique Nenna</strong></p><p>I have great pleasure in presenting you with the Annales of the l8th congress of the Association Internationale pour l'Histoire du Verre and I wish to thank all those who have ensured that this publication appears with the least delay: principally the authors the academic committee and especially the academic editors of the volume Despina Ignatiadou vice-president and member of the board of the AIHV for the years 2006-2012 and Anastassios Antonaras.</p><p>The 18th congress of the AIHV was held in Thessaloniki from September 21st-25th 2009. It was dedicated to Clasina Isings who came via a video to offer us her best wishes. Here we have to warmly thank the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki which has organized the whole manifestation and the Museum of Byzantine Culture which has hosted our sessions in the brand new auditorium of the Museum used for the first time for our congress. All our warm thanks also to The Friends of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki who supported the organization of the congress among the others with the nice bag decorated with bird-balsamaria and The Prefecture of Thessaloniki who has hosted us at the end of the congress. Last but not the least from the bottom of our heart our thanks go to Despina Ignatiadou Anastassios Antonaras and the Organizing committee for their hard work in organizing this congress and for offering us the opportunity to meet once again to share our discoveries and our thoughts on this wonderful material glass to which we are all dedicated.</p><p>During the 33 parallel sessions 95 oral communications and 55 posters were presented displaying the vitality of research on the history of glass in the scientific world. Thanks to the energies of the Greek Committee after a first glance at Thessaloniki at the beginning of our congress thematic visits were organised to discover the different aspects of Thessaloniki. Hellenistic and Roman city Byzantine city Ottoman city with its important Jewish community contemporary city. In the post-congress trips the participants were able to visit the heart of Macedonia with the cities of Vergina and Dion and the Pikrolimni Lake producing natron in Antiquity and still today the ancient cities of Amphipolis and Philippi or to make a cruise around Mount Athos.</p><p>This volume brings together 84 contributions which cover a vast chronological span from the second millennium BC up to the present day touching on all aspects of the history of glass with a good networking between archaeology history of art and archaeometry. An important part is devoted to the beginnings of the history of glass in the second millennium and the beginning of the first millennium BC and the developments in the Hellenistic world with papers covering the Near East Egypt and Sudan Greece and Turkey. The Roman and Byzantine worlds are approached from two directions: the study of the production and consumption of vessels and ornaments and the expanding study on the glass in mosaic pavements and walls. The papers on the Islamic world build on the start made at the 15th congress and show the vitality of research in this area. The presentation of discoveries and research coming from the Czech Republic Great Britain Italy Kosovo Montenegro Portugal Poland Romania and Serbia fuels the debates about glass during the medieval and post-medieval period in Europe. The 18th and 19th centuries are not ignored with papers dealing with glass in roofs glass flowers and mosaic glass and there are also studies dealing with African and Asian glass.</p><p>During the General Assembly the board of the AIHV changed. Jan Egbert Kuipers Treasurer and Ian Freestone to whom we extend all thanks for their work submitted their resignations. The newly elected members were Irena Lazar organizer of the 19th Congress in 2012 as Vice President and Huib Tijssens as Treasurer. Already present in the board Despina Ignatiadou was elected member were re-elected Jane Spillman as General Secretary David Whitehouse as member and I as President. The executive committee which assembled six elected members as well as the presidents of the national Associations or Committees was partly renewed with the election of Fatma Marii and Yoko Shindo; Sylvia Funfschilling Lisa Pilosi Marianne Stern et Maria Grazia Diani were re-elected. We mourned during the congress the recent death of two long time members Sarah Jennings from England and Claudia Maccabruni from Italy.</p><p>The preparations for the 19th congress are progressing under the guidance of Irena Lazar. The congress will be held at Piran Slovenia from September 17th to September 21st 2012 www.aihv.org www.zrs.upr.si. After the wider opening towards eastern Mediterranean members effectuated during the Thessaloniki Congress we will receive in Piran more information and members coming from Central Europe.</p><p><strong>CONTENTS:</strong></p><ul><li><em><strong>Ancient Greek technical terms related to glass production</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Glass and faience and Mycenaean society</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Mycenaean beads from Kazanaki Volos</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Mycenaean Psara - The glass finds</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Scientific analysis of glass from Ras Shamra – Ugarit Syria</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Early ancient glass from Saraga Höyük Gaziantep Turkey</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>The Harrow chalice: Early glass or early fake </strong></em></li><li><em><strong>The British Museum's Amarna fish scientifically studied </strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Core-formed glass vessels from Sinai peninsula Egypt </strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Scientific analysis of ancient glass collections of the Miho Museum</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Taking the Heat: The contribution of apprenticeship to the understanding of the manufacture and typology of core-formed vessels</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Les contenants à huile parfumée façonnés sur noyau dans les dépôts votifs des sanctuaires grecs : l'exemple de l'Artémision de Thasos</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>A haematinon bowl from Pydna</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Analytical and technological study of blue glass from Thebes Greece: An overall assessment</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Iron Age and Hellenistic monochrome glasses from Gordion</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Hellenistic tomb at the ancient city of Philippi</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>The Hellenistic glass of Pherai Thessaly</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Corrosion morphology of Hellenistic glass finds in relation to manufacture techniques</strong></em></li><li><em><strong>Glass from the excavations in the so-called 'Hellenistic' town of Palmyra.

A Near Fine copy in a Good DJ. Extremely scarce in any condition. The Hakkaku Art Museum in Kobe Japan contains a significant collection of old Chinese art including archaic Chinese bronzes. The original collection was that of Jihei Kano the museum's founder. He became expert in the art of the Nara period in Japan and consequently in the relics of the Sui and T'ang Dynasties of China. Mr. Kano began collecting early in the 20th century when a great number of the ancient tombs of the T'ang Dynasty were excavated at Lo-Lang also known as Lo-Yang in present-day North Korea. During that ancient dynasty Lo-Lang was under Chinese control. Many of the gold silver and bronze objects first collected by Mr. Kano were documented in the 1930 publication Hakkaku-Cho. He subsequently acquired relics from Yin Dynasty tombs. In 1935 to preserve his treasures he established the Hakkaku Art Museum. To commemorate the opening of the museum he published Hakkaku Kikkinshu Hakkaku Collection for Bronzes. In the years after opening the museum Mr. Kano added relics from the Yin and Chou Dynasties as well as from the Period of the Warring States. To commemorate his 90th birthday in 1951 he selected 60 objects from his collection and published them in the present volume. The objects illustrated mainly are old bronzes of the Yin Dynasty and applied art objects of the T'ang Dynasty. The Hakkaku Art Museum also contains a wealth of objects from the period of the Warring States the middle of the Chou Dynasty and the Han and Six Dynasties. <br/> <br/> Hakkaku Art Museum hardcover
