Welcome to the Centre of the Glass Universe.

Glass Etc is one of Britain’s largest shops selling antique and 20th century glass. The principal shop, housed within a former Salvation Army chapel, measures 100 square metres, with an adjacent exhibition gallery of about 25 square metres. Our stock is vast, though not all on view. Drawing on Andy McConnell’s collection of around 30,000 pieces, we attempt to cover the span between c1750-1980.

We sell [and buy] most forms of glassware, ranging from decanters and wine-glasses through vases and scent bottles to sculptural suncatchers and chandeliers. We also stock a wide range of architectural ironmongery, including door and window furniture, cabinet knobs, stained glass panels, etc.

The ’Etc’ in our name covers all manner of other forms of antique and vintage furniture and furnishings; from old kitchen scales and blue & white banded Chefware crockery to mirrors and coffee tables.
