Glass art holds pride of place in the home of many collectors. Most art glass objects are fairly durable and chemically stable. Damages—accidental breaking or cracking—usually result from improper handling, shipping, storage or display.

To best protect your collection for yourself and future generations, we suggest the following the advice in our Caring for Glass Collections issue of the AXA ART Collection Management Series.
