THE DECANTER – ROMAN TO 1800
Andy McConnell
This deals with Roman antecedents, the development of the robust ‘English Bottle’, Ravenscroft’s perfected formula for lead crystal, 1676, the earliest decanters and 18th century drinking and dining rituals both in taverns and the great houses.
Andy McConnell is probably Britain’s most prolific glass historian. He entertains and educates his audience with a light-hearted approach.
