Art/Literary - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / glass | | Dutch term or phrase: doorloper | Drinking glasses: baluster glasses, Berkemeier glasses, beer glasses, cocktail and liqueur glasses, champagne glasses, cognac glasses, dice shakers, [? Doorloper? *],
I do not have the context in Dutch, but it is an article on glass as a material, in excellent English except for some problematical specialist terms... which I have for proof reading.
Anyone interested in glass - ?I have several more!!
Thanks for any sugestions |
