Old English glassesAn account of glass drinking vessels in England, from early times to the end of the eighteenth centuryWith introductory notices, original documents, etc . y korneGlad ham I the cild is born. In the Lakenhalle at Leyden is a bocal of green glass,inscribed hymens blevde boodschap, the happy messageof Hymen ; below is a cradle and the word overwinst—gain ; a woman is also shown offering a glass to a man,with the inscription, vreugde tot erkentenis—joy togratitude. IN TROD UCTOR Y NO TICES. SEC. XI. or prolonging and twisting the sets of beads already alluded to in the earlier glasses.^ Theprocess consisted in pricking a series of holes round a gathering of glass on the blowing-iron ;by covering this with a second coating of glass, air bubbles are captured and enclosed, andthese being drawn out to any distance and revolved, a twisted air stem—quadrille—was pro-duced, from which the standards of wine glasses were f^rst in part built up, as in these transitionglasses under notice, and afterwards wholly formed (Fig. 88). But such air-stemmed glassesappear to have been little made in the Low Countries in the early part of the eighteenth.
