  • 'A Perticuler Sort of Christaline Glasse': a Taste of Politeness And
    VIDES XII SANGEETA BEDI ‘A perticuler sort of Christaline Glasse’: A taste of politeness and politics in the early eighteenth century This paper examines and compares two artefacts of the early eighteenth century; a heavy baluster wine glass c.1700 - 1710 and the poem Glass by Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea (1661-1720) first published as a separate verse in her Miscellany of Poems on Several Occasions in 1713. From her unique position as a female aristocrat, once at the centre of court as maid of honour to Mary of Modena, and then for many years an internal political exile, Finch’s poem explores how the humble wine glass and its contents can embody an external and internal form of politeness and the division between the temporal and spiritual condition. n 1674, George Ravenscroft was granted a patent for the English manufacture of ‘a perticuler sort of Christaline Glasse…not formerly exercised or vsed in this Iour Kingdome’.1 Whilst the patent itself is silent on the raw materials used in production, presumably to prevent competition, contemporary evidence suggests that it was substantially different in composition to existing glass manufacture.2 This initial composition was prone to ‘crizzling’; a form of glass corrosion which renders blown glass cloudy and eventually causes breakage.3 The defect was later corrected with the addition of lead oxide and as John Houghton, writing at the turn of the seventeenth century notes, Ravenscroft’s modified metal became known as ‘flint glass’- the term synonymous with colourless lead-based glass.4 This new brilliant English crystal, which mimicked naturally found rock crystal, had an extraordinary ability to refract light and was heavy, ‘hard, durable and whiter than any from Venice.’5 Whilst knowledge of producing coloured domestic glass was also 1 Albert Hartshorne, Old English Glasses: An account of glass drinking vessels in England from early times to the end of the eighteenth century (London, 1897), p.

  • The Play of Colours of Prisms
    The play of colours of prisms Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Institute of Fundamental Physics and Nanotechnology Department of Applied Science and Technology Politecnico di Torino, C.so Duca degli Abruzzi 24, Torino, Italy A short history of prisms from Lucius Anneus Seneca to George Ravenscroft The first scientific paper written by Newton was on the compound nature of white light, a paper where he described his experiments with prisms and the spectrum produced by the light. Newton had performed the experiments, probably between 1664 and 1667, in Woolsthorpe and Cambridge, using several glass prisms [1]. These glass artifacts existed and were sold at the country fairs to be used for the "play of colours", that is, to see the rainbow colours looking through them. This phenomenon of white light dispersion, created by crystals and glasses, was well known from ancient times and reported by Latin writers. Newton, experimenting with glass to improve optical instruments, explained that the play of colours was inside the nature of light. Few years after the Newton's studies, the development of lead glasses allowed new applications for the play of colours. Here a short history of prisms from Seneca to Ravenscroft. 1. Seneca, Pliny and their prisms A Latin writer, Lucius Anneus Seneca, was fascinated by prisms. In his Natural Questions, [2,3], he told that there existed some glass rods commonly made in two forms: striated, and with many angles. If they received the sun's rays obliquely, they create the colours as it is usually seen in a rainbow. It seems therefore that the glassmakers were producing such rods for observing the play of colours.

  • A Review of Balks As Strip Boundaries in the Open Fields by H
    !. A Review of Balks as Strip Boundaries in the Open Fields By H. A. BEECHAM T was Seebohrn who first alleged that individual holdings--strips or parcels--in the Open Fields of medieval England were bounded by I green balks of unploughed turf. 1 This statement was accepted and copied by many later historians until the publication of the Orwins' Open Fields in I938. The Orwins, in this and the subsequent edition published in 1954, disputed Seebohm's general statement on the grounds that he had mis- interpreted his evidence." They argued that any purpose balks might have had was already served by a boundary of a different sort. The action of the fixed mouldboard plough was to form lands (ridges, beds, warps, stitches, etc.) and between each land was a clearly demarcated furrow. Each man knew how many lands went to his strip and the furrow showed where each land joined the one adjacent to it. Balks would have been pointless and waste- ful; and it is difficult to conceive such a wastage of land at a time when the cultivated area in each parish was barely sufficient to support the needs of the community. Two further points made by the Orwins are as follows. "... A common complaint in the proceedings in the manorial courts is that against the man who encroached upon his neighbour's strip, which could not have happened if there were an intervening balk." Furthermore, "the compilers of the Book of Common Prayer thought it desirable to repeat the condemnation by the law of Moses of those who removed their neighbour's landmarks.

    Archaeological Evidence for Glassworking Guidelines for Recovering, Analysing and Interpreting Evidence Summary This document provides guidance on identifying, investigating and interpreting the archaeological remains of past glassworking. This includes an overview of the types of glass used in Britain from the Bronze Age to the early 20th century, and how the raw materials, processes and products changed overtime. The guidance summarises how documentary sources, survey, excavation, scientific analysis and experimental archaeology have been used to interpret glassworking remains.

INTRODUCTION The development of the glass industry in the Northeast has played an influential role in the availability of consumer goods to varying classes of urban and rural populations. Particularly, the nineteenth century was witness to numerous innovations in production techniques which drastically affected product availability, price, and ultimately demand. In New York City, the Bloomingdale Flint Glass Works was established in 1820 and closed its operation in 1840. The glassworks was constructed on a plot of land in the vicinity of West 47th Street and the Hudson River, and produced high quality cut and engraved glassware. By 1821 a factory was built and by 1823 housing for workers was built to the east near Eleventh Avenue. A contextual overview of glass making was prepared, from which theoretical questions about this particular site were derived.
