The glasses stimulated a sense of togetherness, provided entertainment value and, of course, encouraged drunkenness. The tricks varied significantly: some were quite overt--unusually shaped glasses such as a boot, horn or gun--and others stealthy, such as normal-looking glasses that splashed wine all over the drinker. Still others emitted strange noises when drunk from. It is precisely their playful character that rendered them technical tours de force, the pinnacle of what glassblowers could fashion at the time. The glasses showcased the skills of their makers along with the wealth and standing of their owners.\u003cbr\u003eFor this amusing, delightful and impressive volume, internationally renowned glass expert Kitty Lam駻is and glass artist Marc Barreda conducted large-scale research into the use and history of trick glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Barreda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462087733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462087736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nai010 Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Marc Barreda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149278212351,"sku":"9789462087736","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b56e96b-cdc0-481d-901d-879299f4d0eb.jpg?v=1688455803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trick-glasses-marc-barreda-9789462087736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
