| Abstract: | Glassmaking was one of the earliest manufacturing industries to be set up in Scotland, but one about which little information has been published. This monograph documents the early days of Scottish glass production from the granting of the first patent in 1610 up to the mid-18th century. Initial chapters describe the techniques of glassmaking and levels of Scottish glass consumption; the volume then charts the individual histories of all the main glasshouses and their products - from wine glasses and bottles to mirrors and window glass. Economic issues facing those attempting to establish new industries in 17th-century Scotland are examined as are contemporary business practices and the impact of the Union of 1707. | ||
