Scientific Examination of Glass and Glass Working Materials from Nailsea, Avon
Author(s): Gareth Hatton
Historical documents show that the glassworks at Nailsea were established in 1788 and continued until1874. An assemblage of glass and glass working waste (2.8kg) was submitted for examination and subsequent analysis. Samples to represent the range of colours, forms and sizes present were selected for chemical analysis. It was determined from these analyses that colourless glass was produced on site. The glass is a soda lime silicate glass.
