My interests started to grow and started to collect and read all about glass and started to collect 18th & 19th Century wine glasses, decanters, claret jugs, engraved glass, coloured glass, decorative glass, contemporary glass, British glass, Italian glass, French glass, Scandinavian glass and more categories in glass. I simply have a passion for anything made out glass. I have been lucky to find some fabulous items and have entered these interesting glass articles into exhibitions and books. I always look at a piece of glass such as an early drinking glass and think what stories you could tell and that’s what makes glass collecting so interesting as everything has a story to tell.
