Winbolt, S.E. "WEALDEN GLASS. THE SURREY-SUSSEX GLASS INDUSTRY (A.D. 
1226-1615)"

Combridges, Hove: 1933. Limited to 500 copies.

For four centuries, between 1200 and 1600, the Surrey-Sussex area was the 
chief glass-making area of England. With a large population of immigrant 
and refugee French artisans, settlers from Normandy and fleeing Huguenots, 
the area became a thriving glass-making center. The author spent years 
scouring local records, digging in farmers' fields, and amassing 
documentary and physical evidence of this now-vanished industry. This study 
also includes much material on the state of glass-making in this period, 
with period engravings and scale reconstructions. Hardcover. 7.5"x10", 85 
pages, 60 b/w illustrations; green cloth with gilt titles; cover with some 
white spotting in an odd, abstract, oddly interesting pattern; else a nice 
copy. [06803] $250.00
