Abstract:

Excavations revealed a coal-fired glasshouse of unique design, with its associated working areas, standing within its original building. A wide variety of bottles and decorated tablewares had been produced in soda-lime and lead glasses, both coloured and plain, together with plain and coloured window glass. It was succeeded in the late 18th century by a pottery producing slip-decorated and black-glazed redware. Michael Cable provides an appendix on the glass technology, and finds included a reconstructable closed crucible. Au(amp)
