Historical Context
Liege (in present-day Belgium) was an important continental glassmaking centre in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. During the first half of the 18th century, its glasshouses began adopting lead glass technology, influenced by developments in England, producing excellent glasses with good clarity and often a slightly grey tone. These pieces reflect the spread of English lead glass technology into continental Europe, while retaining their own distinct character in form and finish.
