[Zutphen], Walburg Pers, [2022]. 327 pp. Num. ills (chiefly col.). Orig. hardcover (pictorial boards). 4to. [ISBN: 9789462498266].In the Netherlands, special glasses for playing drinking games emerged at the end of the sixteenth century. They fostered camaraderie, a great deal of entertainment, and, of course, ultimately led to heavy drunkenness. Joke glasses are glasses designed to surprise the drinker in one way or another. If you don't know how to use them, some glasses will splash wine all over you. Other glasses are so ingeniously crafted that you have to study them before you even understand how to drink from them. Glass expert Kitty Laméris and master glassblower Marc Barreda conducted extensive research into the use and history of joke glasses, their users, and their manufacturing methods. This led to groundbreaking new insights. - With contributions in Dutch (partially translated from English) by Michel Hulst, Dedo von Kerssenbrock-Krosigk, Anna Laméris, and Reino Liefkes. Pubished on the occasion of the exhibition 'Glas als ijsbreker. Kanonnen, blauwe ballen, fonteinen en fabeldieren' at the Nationaal Glasmuseum in Leerdam, 1 April - 1 November 2022.
