[Rarebooks] fs: 2 on London's Glass-Sellers

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

The Glass-Sellers Company was founded under Charles II "for the better 
reforming and suppressing the falsities and deceits now commonly used and 
practiced in the wards and manufactures belonging to the trades of glass 
sellers and looking-glass makers". The Glass-Sellers sold drinking and 
table glass, as well as bottles, and stoneware goods, and were allowed to 
make looking glasses.
