Old Glass and How to Collect it

"Old Glass and How to Collect it" examines the history of glass making, tracing the various art forms it has taken from its discovery, probably in ancient Egypt, through to antiquity and finally to medieval times when glass became more popular than ever throughout Europe. The evolution of different glass making techniques is described in the book. An interesting inclusion is the history around the 'Jacobite' glasses, that are linked to the Jacobite Succession, considered a rare find for the collector of Old English glass.
