Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Glasses: An Account of Glass Drinking Vessels in England, From Early Times to the End of the Eighteenth Century; With Introductory Notices, Original Documents, Etc IN the following work, which comprises the history of a subject never before undertaken for England, the author has primarily endeavoured to provide information concerning drinking-glasses and glass-making in this country from Roman times to 1800. Dealing first with objects in vitreous pastes found in Britain, the flaw (mean of Strabo, the aggry beads, - some of them remnants, apparently, of Phoenician commerce, - Roman mosaic beads, and their quasi-imitations the beads of anglo-saxon times, are successively touched upon. The evidences of glass-furnaces in Britain during the Roman domina tion are spoken of; and while the large and varied number of drinking-vessels of anglo-saxon times are discussed historically, 'an endeavour is made for the first time to bring them into order, to classify, and to date them. The imported Oriental glasses a la facon de Damas, a la Moresque - are not overlooked, and the collateral rise and progress of painted glass in England, from the middle of the twelfth century to the time of the English painted windows of the Chapel of King's, of the first quarter of the sixteenth, is shown. Testimonies are adduced indicating the continuation of the manufacture of glass drinking-vessels in England during this long period, and up to the middle of the sixteenth century, illustrated by the evidence of inventories and a few actual vessels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glass plays an essential role in our lives and has done for centuries. Glass has not always been so ubiquitous and this book charts the development of the English glass industry from the medieval period to recent times. Medieval glass was a scarce, luxury material used to furnish the tables of the wealthiest members of society, and to glaze only churches and palaces. The industry was small and largely based in rural areas, where the necessary raw materials (in particular wood for fuel) were abundant. 0In the 16th century, glass manufacture increased and benefited from technological development (largely brought by immigrant glass makers). This encouraged a drop in prices for customers which probably helped to increase the demand for glass. Throughout the 17th century the English glass industry was transformed by the use of new coal-fuelled furnaces, and raw materials, especially seaweed and lead. By the 18th century, glass was routinely used to glaze houses even for the less wealthy members of society, store wine and beer, and serve drinks. The scientific analysis of glass and glass working waste from this period has advanced considerably in recent years and has enriched our understanding of the raw materials and technologies employed in glass manufacture.
