The Labour Aristocracy Revisited (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4BO9AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA29&lpg=PA29&dq=1849+birmingham+exhibition+richardson+glass&source=bl&ots=3t6gXJ0rTT&sig=J-7qTlxlpAqhAOqhTP_-kI3__N0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6wpX3wd3RAhWFSRoKHeyoCo8Q6AEIGjAA#v=onepage&q=1849%20birmingham%20exhibition%20richardson%20glass&f=false)

Sorry for the long link. [Mod: Link converted to clickable text] 
I've come across some of it in a different format and didn't realise it was in book form

Appears to be lots of information and of course, source references, for the pressed glass industry.

thanks m  -  looks very interesting, although surprised that the period under review appears to be quite a short time span.          I've not heard of the book, but will definitely find a copy from somewhere.    thanks.

There is info in there from earlier I think - I did read something about Richardson's machine to press glass in 1832.
I've read it (or some of it) before in dissertation format - I didn't realise it had been published as a book.

The earlier dissertation is available as a free PDF download from Warwick University if you want to read it: http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/34696/1/WRAP_THESIS_Matsumura_1976.pdf
