From Publisher:

Pressed flint glass has never been out of production since its introduction at the beginning of the 19th century, and vast quantities have been manufactured. This book surveys the development of the processes which transformed glassmaking from a craft into an industry, supplying the consumer market with a range of decorative ware and fittings.
