In the course of the Renaissance in the 17th Century a book was published called L'Arte Vetraria (The Art of Glass) by Antonio Neri, revealing the secrets of glass blowing and production. Venice became the centre of the glass blowing world. Having said that, locations in Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Sweden were developing their own glass industries in what were known as forest glass houses, such as Kosta Glasbruk (still in existence nowadays and referred to as Kosta Boda), a Swedish glassworks founded by two foreign officers in Charles XII's army. In 1676 there came a different breakthrough inside the glass business. George Ravenscroft developed a formula for producing glass making use of lead. The new lead glass stayed workable for much longer than other sorts of glass. Its weight and clarity led to glass makes using it without having decoration, making attractive pieces with the glass alone. More attention was paid to the type of the glass itself, not what was adorning it.
The next main revolution in glass occurred within the 20th century when designers and artists became an important component of the glass houses. Louis Comfort Tiffany, of Tiffany's, was inspired to begin designing glass, leading to the kind of products you now see from the world renowned jewellery store. Following a drop in interest, the art of glassmaking created a comeback in the 1960s as glass artists began to work in their own studios, outside of the factory environment. All of the artistic experimentation carried out in these studios is known as the studio glass movement. The studio glass movement is international and still creating. It started out as and American movement, and promptly spread to Europe, Australia and Asia. Glass art like the Art Glass Compote on this page definitely are interesting art pieces to collect.
