“A Catalogue of the Late Antique Gold Glass in the British Museum”, by Daniel Thomas Howells is now published (http://bit.ly/1KfTVJb) and will be soon available in the library.
Dr. Howells completed his MA here at Reading in 2006 and then went on to undertake a Phd with the University of Sussex in collaboration with the British Museum.
This publication is the most in depth of its kind since 1901 and is a must-read for all those with an interest in gold glass!
