Originally published in 1910, English Table Glass provides an easy to understand introduction to the fascinating and beautiful world of antique English glassware. Covering from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, photographs and descriptions highlight many examples of breathtaking craftsmanship, from wine glasses with air-twist stems to exquisitely engraved decanters and sugar-bowls. An expert of his time, Percy Bate's advice for the collector - including how to spot fakes - still holds true today, making English Table Glass essential reading for those considering glass collecting as a hobby, or for anyone with an interest in antiques, design, art history or engraving.
