About this book
Glass, by Edward Dillon, M.A., is a book about glass. The preface says it is now nearly thirty years since the late Mr. Nesbitt wrote the introduction to the catalogue of the glass at South Kensington.
The text calls the patent granted in 1338 to a certain Guionet perhaps the most significant of these patents, and says the Dauphin of the Viennois conceded to this maître de verrerie the right of taking wood when it suited him from parts of the forest of Chamborant. The text calls the yearly list of pieces certainly an ample yearly supply even for a princely household. The text says the Persian Glass of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is, as a whole, thin and transparent, either simply blown or in part moulded.
