Notes: Selected contributions which were presented at a three day seminar/higher education course which was held February 27-28, and March 1, 2013 in Venice. The seminar was organized by the Istituto veneto di scienze, lettere ed arti as one of its annual Study Days on Venetian Glass, focusing on glasswork primarily from the 16th and 17th centuries, but also some glasswork of the 15th and 19th centuries. The Study Days on Venetian Glass are an opportunity for in-depth study on Venetian glass and are geared toward an audience of museum conservators, collectors and experts. The study days include a general overview of the history and art history of glass; raw materials and casting/processing techniques; archaeometrics; and conservation and restoration. The program of the days' activities appears at the back of the book.
