Thank you, Christine

Some fascinating information there! Especially the words describing faults in glass! I expect to see far more accurate information about the nature of damage in people's ebay descriptions from now on

Some of the terms took me back to our visit to St. Helen's World of Glass, Christine - memories of which bring the terms to life.
There are also a good few words which could be used as expletives...

thanks very much indeed - this will be studied.

This is great for us novices - Thank you!

It also states, quite unambiguously, that a pontil is an iron rod.

thank you Christine - enormously valuable

I did toy with the idea of printing it off at work today - but was a little busy. But when I get back to the office after Christmas, well...............
