About This Book

A practical handbook for collectors of English and Irish antique glass that classifies blown, moulded, cut, engraved, and coloured wares and describes common stem, bowl, and vessel types. It sets out seven tests for assessing age and authenticity, explains identification of drinking glasses, tumblers, bottles, decanters, table and decorative items, and discusses cutting and colouring techniques. The narrative combines hands‑on collecting tips, pricing observations, connoisseurship advice, and warnings about forgeries, with structured chapters and illustrations intended to help beginners develop the sight, touch, and judgment needed to seek, buy, and care for old glass.
