The definitive work on the subject and an essential reference book, this revised edition has new chapters on The First Glass, Art Deco, Modernism, Post Modernism, Cocktail Shakers as well as 2,000 new images.
This encyclopaedic new edition of The Decanter bolsters the book's reputation as the definitive work on the subject.

Researched and written by Andy McConnell, journalist and long-serving glass specialist on BBC TV's Antiques Roadshow, The Decanter is born of twenty years' extensive research. This edition is enlivened by several new chapters and the inclusion of two thousand new photographs and illustrations, most previously unpublished.

In presenting the subject across a broad timescale - ranging from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern day - The Decanter presents the history of glassmaking from a decanter perspective. The engaging, accessible text explores the stylistic and technical evolution of fine glassmaking alongside its influences and social uses. Drawing from thousands of documentary sources and benefiting from the knowledge and experience of scores of experts in Britain, Europe and the United States, The Decanter is the most comprehensive history of fine glassmaking ever published.

Andy McConnell is widely published on the subject of glass, writing variously for the Daily Telegraph, The Times and Country Life. He was the first glass specialist on the BBC's Antique Roadshow, and has been a regular on the show for thirteen years. He also lectures on the subject and owns over 30,000 pieces of glass.
