Description
Conservation and Restoration of Glass is an in-depth guide to the materials and practices required for the care and preservation of glass
objects. It provides thorough coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects of glass conservation.
This new edition of Newton and
Davison's original book, Conservation of Glass, includes sections on the nature of glass, the historical development and technology of
glassmaking, and the deterioration of glass. Professional conservators will welcome the inclusion of recommendations for examination

required by conservators and restorers and is invaluable for anyone with glass objects in their care.
