Publisher's Synopsis
From Goblets to Gaslights: The Scottish Glass Industry 1750-2006 explores the histories of individual flint glassworks in Scotland from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, when Scottish glass production was flourishing. Major works in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Leith are looked at in detail, while other smaller, virtually unknown, producers like the Clyde Flint Glass Company in Greenock are also covered. Illustrated with over 550 images, the text is also accompanied by a free DVD containing a full reproduction of a Holyrood Pattern Book. It is an invaluable study for all those interested in Scottish industrial history, in particular the history of glass production.
