Irish glass.(Cover Story)
No category of antiques can have generated a more spurious mythology than that surrounding Irish glass. Indeed, the legends and half-truths propagated by charlatans, frauds, and wishful thinkers have become so firmly established in the international consciousness that to assert the reality is to tempt derision and anger: Yet the indisputable fact remains that the many glassworks established across Ireland starting in 1783 found it easier to manufacture cheap, rudimentary table glass for the westward colonies than to compete with long-established British works for the domestic luxury market.
