Mamluk Enamelled and Gilded Glass - Arabic/English version

This finely bound book presents the twelve glass objects featured in the exhibition, Gilded and Glazed: Mamluk Glass and Iznik Pottery held during 2003 Doha Cultural Festival in Qatar. The two blue vessels (the bottle and the vase) are unique and among the finest surviving glass objects of the Mamluk period. The ten lamps, produced during the century of prolific Mamluk lamp-making, represent nearly the entire history and range of lavish glass lamps that illuminate mosques, madrasas and other religious buildings.
