British Glass 1800-1914
Charles R. Hajdamach
Newly published evidence disposes of many of the myths perpetuated by generations of writers, examines the vexed question of Anglo-Irish glass, discusses the impact of the Glass Excise, rediscovers the forgotten art of English brilliant cut glass and offers valuable pointers for the identification of fakes, forgeries and reproductions. Contemporary archive material facilitates the dating of pieces. Fifty stunning colour photographs, of groups of glasses arranged by type for purposes of comparison, and nearly four hundred black and white illustrations complete the most comprehensive survey yet of the greatest period in the history of British glass.
