Glass Encyclopedia
The Glass Encyclopedia is intended to be the ultimate reference source on glass. It covers a list of topics that will be increased and up-dated regularly, building up to a fully comprehensive glass encyclopedia on-line.
Each topic has its own page and contains a definition of the topic with interesting background and history. There are also pictures, references to other on-line sources and articles, and suggested books on the topic. See the list of topics below, and come back often to see the new topics we will add.
Amongst the latest additions are Thomas Webb and Sons glass, one of the great Stourbridge glassworks, Chance glass, an industrial giant of a company that made glass in Smethwick, England, from 1824 to 1981; Akro Agate glass , the American marble makers who turned to art glass in the 1930s; Hazel Atlas glass , established in 1902 and one of the great Depression glass producers; and Fire-King glass, dinnerware and kitchenware first made in 1942 by Anchor Hocking. Hope you will find these useful additions to the Glass Encyclopedia.
