This book is a beautiful and highly informative study of the history of 18th century English drinking glasses (from 1690-1790). It is based on the remarkable private collection of Ian Murray, who has acquired, since 1965, the finest Australian collection of English glassware in private hands.
Not only are the photographs of the glasses exquisite to look at, the accompanying text is a perfect introduction to the fascinating history of early English glassware. This sumptuous book is a must have for any lover of history, antiques, fine wine and beauty.
