[Rarebooks] FS: Medieval Glassmaking at Wealden

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Wealden Glass. The Surrey-Sussex Glass Industry (A.D. 1226-1615)"

By S.E. Winbolt.  Published by 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 (see picture); else in nice condition. $250.00
