Early American Pattern Glass made from Flint Glass Flint glass is a name that refers to the lead glass that was produced in the United States and the United Kingdom prior to the 1860s. The term, "flint glass", was given to the better glassware that was perfected in England in the 1670s as it contained powdered flint added to the glass compound. Flint glass was the fine glassware of the times and the name was transferred to America. www.patternglass.com /KindFlint/flint.htm   (665 words)

Glass Glass is a combination of sand, flint, spar, or some other silicious substances, with one or other of the fixed alkalies, and in some cases with a metallic oxide. When the coating or mixture is thus prepared, the glass is to be coated by means of a camel's-hair brush, or squirrel's-foot, etc. It is then to be exposed to a heat sufficient to produce a semivitrification of the coaty surface, and to incorporate it with the substance or body of glass so coated. This glass, will be very soft, and will not bear much water, if employed for rings, buckles, or such imitations of stones as are exposed to much rubbing; but for ear-rings, ornaments worn on the breast, or such others as are but seldom put on, it may last a considerable time. www.sharelynx.com /web/cyclopedia/glass.html   (8041 words)

Glass (A) - Encylopedia Of Antiques AMBERINA GLASS: A lead glass, usually blown, with a lustrous finish of a pale amber color shading to ruby made by the New England Glass Co. of Cambridge. The bottom of a piece of old glass which has been used is almost like ground glass in appearance, and old glass is seldom true to form. In the field of American glass many of the finest specimens, bearing every apparent indication of 18th-century production, were blown in relatively obscure factories in various parts of the country during the early and mid-l9thcentllry period. www.oldandsold.com /articles02/glass-a.shtml   (824 words)

Davidson English Pressed Glass Marbled glass items like this sugar bowl are today often called "slag glass" because some of the effects were acheived by adding impurities to the glass such as slag from old coal and iron mines. Glass makers in England at this time came under pressure to put a trade mark or other form of identification on their glass. Pearline glass reacted to heat by turning white on the parts exposed to heat during the cooling process, a reaction caused by the chemicals mixed into the glass (notably arsenic). www.glass.co.nz /Davidson.htm   (1870 words)

Dose Glass Collector II Homepage Common to these different shaped dose glasses are the teaspoon and tablespoon graduations (on the tumblers it is on the opposite side of the glass from the advertising). The glass can also be irradiated (zapped glass) to achieve this color change (usually to a deep rich purple), but this artificial means of changing the color, although beautiful, is considered undesirable to most collectors. Just to mention, there are a couple of cobalt glass dose measures that were actually the bottle lid or bottle cap to certain powdered medications by Wyeth (to measure a heaping dessertspoonful) and Warner (to measure a heaping teaspoonful). home.bellsouth.net /p/PWP-doseglass   (1477 words)
