The Glass Industry

A history of and collectors' guide to nineteenth-century glass manufacturing in South Boston

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.

Glassmaking was one of the earliest manufacturing industries to be set up in Scotland, but one about which little information has been published. This monograph aims to rectify that situation by documenting the early days of Scottish glass production from the granting of the first patent in 1610 up to the mid-18th century.
