Old glass and how to collect it

Lewis, J. Sydney · 1900 · London, Werner · 62 pictures

A collector's handbook on antique English and Continental glass by J. Sydney Lewis, published in London by Werner around 1900 for amateur buyers and dealers learning to date and identify pieces. Halftone photographs set drinking glasses against black grounds, showing engraved bowls, air-twist and knopped stems, and folded feet as bright silhouettes usable as cut-out silverware forms.
