This book is intended to help in the research and appraisal of old glass in which collectors are increasingly investing. No other field offers collectable pieces in such a wide range of period, of use, and of price. Bernard Hughes gives a notably clear classification of wine-glasses as well as less familiar pieces such as blown-molded, pinched and pressed glass, covering an enormous range of objects and styles. Bernard Hughes is highly knowledgeable in past and present glass manufacture and can accurately judge different features of glass, which reflect their value. This richly illustrated book brings the clarity of technical fact and accurate historical background to the art of collecting English glass.
