"In the 18th and early 19th centuries, American glass craftsmen were usually European immigrants; American-born glassblowers and decorators were rare until after mid-century. For this reason, most early American glass was heavily influenced by European glass and ceramic designs. This lecture will examine some of those influences"--Seminar brochure.
