Description

English Drinking Glasses 1675-1825 by L. M. Bickerton explores the evolution of drinking glasses in England from 1675 to 1825. During this period, the introduction of lead glass formula transformed the industry, enabling the production of high-quality glasses that captured the entire home market. The book delves into the variety of drinking glasses produced during this time, from heavy balusters before 1700 to faceted stems around 1800, which are highly sought after by collectors. The author beautifully captures the superb craftsmanship and ingenuity typical of eighteenth-century art forms in the drinking glass. With detailed illustrations of the range of glass designs, this book is an ideal guide for any collector looking to understand the history and significance of English drinking glasses from 1675 to 1825.
