520 _a"Collecting Old Glass, English and Irish" by J. H. Yoxall is a practical guide about the art of collecting antique glassware, written in the early 20th century. This publication seeks to bridge the gap that exists in the literature surrounding glass-collecting by providing comprehensive insights into the various types and qualities of old English and Irish glass. The book likely appeals to both seasoned collectors and beginners looking to understand the nuances of glass identification and valuation. The opening of the text introduces Yoxall's motivation to offer a clearer and more accessible approach to glass-collecting than had been previously available. He emphasizes the uniqueness of old glassware, highlighting its aesthetic qualities and the historical significance attached to specific pieces. By sharing his own experiences and practical tips, Yoxall sets up a structured exploration of various glass types, their characteristics, and the telling details that collectors should look for to distinguish authentic antiques from forgeries. The beginning establishes a foundation for further chapters dedicated to specific styles, testing techniques, and personal anecdotes that enrich the narrative.
