A History of Old English Glass is a definitive and scholarly exploration of the evolution of glassmaking in England, focusing particularly on the artistic and technical advancements of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This work provides an in-depth analysis of the various forms of glassware that defined the era, from early lead glass to the sophisticated drinking vessels of the Georgian period.

The book meticulously traces the shift from utilitarian items to the exquisite, decorative pieces that became staples of English craftsmanship. It examines the influence of key figures and glasshouses, the introduction of new materials, and the development of distinctive styles such as baluster stems, air twists, and diamond-point engraving. Readers will find detailed accounts of the social and economic factors that shaped the industry, alongside descriptions of the specialized techniques used by artisans to create clarity and brilliance in their work.
