Some Evidence for Glassworking at Silkstone, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Author(s): Hugh Willmott
The artefactual evidence from the excavation of a late 17th century glassworking site is examined. The site produced monochrome or colourless glass, naturally coloured glass and small amounts of splash-decorated glass. In addition, diagnostic production waste, e.g. moils, runs and crucibles, were recovered. The forms of the vessels suggests that production began in the 17th century and continued into the 18th century. The occurrence of splash decorated wares is among the earliest in England.
