Wrythen Stemmed Georgian Ale Glass - ID = Greta Runeborg-Tell for Ekenäs

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lustrousstone:
I don't colour consistency relates to where the iron comes from. It's all melted together and stirred. Builder's sand is orange because it is full of iron...

Ekimp:
Wouldn’t lots of clear glass be this colour if they didn’t add manganese?

NevB:
Yes it would Ekimp, but I don't think it would be as green as this, perhaps just a hint of green, I suppose it depends on how much iron is in the sand.

Lustrousstone:
Yes. Think old coke bottles. Your glass doesn't look old enough to me (note the to me) to have been made from any old sand as was the case with wald glass. 18th and 19th century glass is often beautifully clear because they had worked out that sand mattered

NevB:
Oops, slightly out on this one. Actually designed by Greta Runeborg-Tell who worked for Ekenäs Sweden between 1941-52. Examples are shown here and elsewhere online.
