New Antiques

This unique book showcases glass wares from ordinary Australian homes, acquired and catalogued by a pair of keen collectors who are not alone in finding this glass attractive and interesting. It documents Kitchen Tables, Parlours, Dressing Tables and Mantle Shelves over the last hundred years in a typical Australian House. There are over 2000 items, all photographed in colour, with a useful price reference attached to each entry. Makers' marks and labels are indexed and there is information on glass manufacturing processes in Australia and elsewhere.
