Klappentext:
Old English Glass is as good an investment as any other antique, and is found by many people to give as much or more pleasure and profit. There is, however, no certainty that because a piece is old it will appreciate in value.
For this to occur, under normal conditions, it must be a good example of its type — if not the best — and a buyer requires a knowledge of the subject in order to discriminate between good, mediocre and poor.
The purpose of this book is to provide this knowledge, so that, armed with an appreciation of the techniques of manufacture and the sequence of styles, a worthwhile collection can be formed.
Particular care has been taken to ensure that the majority of the specimens illustrated, both in colour and black-and-white, have not previously been reproduced in any volume.
Both text and illustrations make the book a valuable addition to the shelves of old and new collectors and all who are interested in glass.
