Slag Glass before publication, but did discover what it wasn't, as he found primary source material (advertisements, catalogues and price lists) that clearly distinguished it from their Malachites (purple, green, blue, brown, black, grey and red), Jet, Tortoiseshell, Ruby, Vitro-porcelain, Patent Queen's Ivory Ware, Blanc de Lait, Gold, Agate, Sorpini, Nugget, Rubine, Aesthetic Green, Opal, Rose Opalescent, Turquoise, Giallo and plain colours.
