| Abstract: | It is difficult to make a realistic assessment of the quantity of glass in the home, since documentary material is limited and what survives provides only fragmentary evidence, predominantly of the purchases of the wealthy. Inventories and household receipts can only offer the occasional snapshot, showing the possessions or purchases of individual households at a particular moment in time, although it is possible to draw some more general conclusions, particularly from the study of testaments. The objects considered include drinking-glasses, containers such as bottles, vials and flasks, medicinal and perfume containers, bottles, hour-glasses, mirrors, windows and beads. | ||
