WHEN an antique collector’s collection comes to the market it is always of interest. The Adams sale of the Jill Cox Collection in Dublin on September 7 is a treasury for the collector of Irish glass, silver, delft, rare prints and art. Jill Cox, who died last December, was proprietor of The Beaufield Mews, a restaurant and antiques shop in south County Dublin. She was interested in everything Irish, especially glass and silver, and was chairperson of the Irish Glass Society.
