The English Glass Company Little Things in Glass

CHAPTER 3_IA GLASS MOULDINGS

This chapter traces the evolution of the original glass branch of The English Glass Co. Ltd business, from simple glass mouldings from its incorporation in 1934, to a specialist and varied range by the end of the twentieth century. It includes an explanation of the term ‘fire polished’ rod mouldings and the production processes for all the glass products together with an indication of the diverse product ranges. Reference is also made to the unsuccessful attempt to manufacture glass marbles from a new tank furnace built in the Melton Mowbray branch factory.
