FOR INFORMATION ON A WIDE VARIETY OF COLLECTABLE AND ANTIQUE GLASS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BEAUTY

If you like glass, for its functional use, as a collector, as gifts, as an investment or just simply for the aesthetic pleasure that glass gives, then you will appreciate the quality and range of antique glass, vaseline glass, uranium glass and other types of collectable glass information offered by 1st.Glass. Whatever the time period of glass-making history that appeals to you, whether it be: Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco Glass, Contemporary or any other type of Antique Glass, you can always find some snippet of information that could be useful.

The types and styles of the glassware information offered ranges, from the decorative press-moulded antique glass of the 19th century to stunning 1930's vaseline glass or from the simply formed and functional Georgian drinking glasses of the 18th century to the stylish British glassware of the mid to late 20th century.

The glass that I used to sell on eBay originated from many countries and regions, such as American decorative pressed glass, free blown antique English glass baskets, French milk glass vases, German pressed glass, Czechoslovakian Art Deco vaseline glass flower frogs or a Murano art glass sculpture from Italy. The origins, periods, styles and colours may have varied but the quality was always consistent.

Within this web site you will find an explanation of what vaseline glass / uranium glass is and why it glows under UV light. There is a section listing the glass books that I use for the attribution and identification of antique glass and that I can personally recommend for you to obtain. There are photo galleries of many beautiful items such as Art Deco glass flower frogs, decorative vaseline glass vases, slag glass, custard glass and milk glass etc. that I have once 'owned' fleetingly.

This site also contains the unique automatic translator for the easy decoding of any Victorian Glass Registration Lozenge mark ( or 'Diamond Registration Mark' as it is sometimes termed ). It's a very easy to use tool for dating antique glass that gives the parcel number, the date and the manufacturer of ALL antique glass that was design registered in 19th Century England during the period from 1842 to 1883.
