Early Canadian Glass

This volume examines glass manufacturing in Canada through individual company histories and includes a survey of pressed glass patterns in the National Museum of Man collections.

The glossary grew out of the need to have a standardized system for the cataloguing of glass artifacts from sites excavated by Parks Canada. It presents information on the general aspects of glass artifacts, such as their colour, condition, and manufacturing techniques. It provides guidance on terminology, measurements to take, and attributes to describe.
