krsilber:
I'm not sure this is the proper place to post these, but here goes. These are non-commercial, informative sites I thought might interest people. I'm sure many of you have seen many of them, but maybe there are a couple new ones you like. 'Tis but a smattering of those I have saved, but I tried to choose general ones that some folks might not have already.
Pages about glassmaking, chemistry, history, etc.

Glossaries and Glass Marks
Extensive (but not alphabetized) glass glossary (just found this today; it’s posted in another thread):

pamela:
I try again to correct butchiedogs' list:
STS Zagreb with wineglass in front of a 5 star is NOT German, but formerly Jugoslavia.
Sachsenglas SG in a crown is RADEBERG
a heart shaped SG or AWS is August Walther in Ottendorf/Okrilla Saxonia
none of these are Schwepnitz!
positively identified your Edelweiss as Max Malky
and Streit Rittermarke

BTW Anne, your links page is great! That's been one of my bookmarked sites for a while, but I didn't connect it with you until just now.
I'll drop Mike a line about the corrections.
