Hi m.

I have come across that document, and had hoped they might have found some 19th century glass fragments, but no joy (only 20th century).  But there is the possibility that some millefiori fragments turn up somewhere in a future archaeological investigation of a Birmingham area glass works - that would be fascinating!

I find these investigations fascinating to read :)

I wonder if Frank's seen this one - might draw his attention to it just in case.
