Welcome to
GREAT GLASS
from Philip & Ann Petrides
(dealers in affordable, fine quality antique & collectable glass since 1991)

We wish you a warm welcome to our website, which we hope you will find easy to navigate. Regular customers no longer need to wait until we visit their local fair in order to see what we've got for them; and other glass collectors & dealers can browse these pages to see some of the items we have currently on offer.

Please note: We continue to receive requests for valuations - we regret to say that we can not offer such a service, under any circumstances.
