Never before has the collection of archaeological glass of the MAS Vleeshuis Collection in Antwerp been described and disclosed in its entirety. This hidden treasure is part of a valuable study collection on twenty centuries of glass production, a wealth of information that has remained underexposed. The archaeological part is presented for the first time in this extensive catalogue.
