- Simeon Shaw, published 1837 , printed London W. Lewis & Sons Finch-Lane.
See pages 503 (Flint glass onwards) - 507
I'm not suggesting the glassmakers of the day turned to Simeon Shaw's book to work out how to produce their own glass, however, this was published in 1837 and there does not seem to me (unless I have misunderstood or misread) to be any mention of uranium in any of the 'recipes' for glass colours.
Remember Queen Victoria's banquet at Guildhall was November 1837.
Uranium did seem to be mentioned in conjunction with enamelling pottery if I've read it correctly. But there didn't seem to be mention of using it to colour glass.
In the making of 'Topaz' glass it mentions including 'Gold-Colored'. Referring back up the page to 'Gold-color there is no mention of using uranium to produce it.
