Topic: Thomas Webb & Sons

[Angela B]

There is a new article about Thomas Webb & Sons on the Glass Encyclopedia today, at http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/thomaswebbglass.html
I would appreciate feedback about that article, in case I have made any errors.
In the past it has been really helpful when others have given me advice.
And the other kind of feedback is always good too - if you enjoy reading it.

You still have the problem with text going over the coloured bar on the right and with one caption "above and below: two more Thomas Webb logos." the word more goes out of the left margin almost to the main text.

Thanks Frank. I will have to get some advice on how to avoid that problem.

I think Webb was bought up by Coloroll Group not Colorall.  They had also taken over a number of pottery companies such as Biltons and Kilncraft, if I remember right.

Thanks very much for that correction Chris.
Do you know why Edinburgh Crystal wasn't affected by this bankruptcy?

[Chris Harrison]

According to wikipedia

"Caledonia Investments, with the support of senior managers, led a buy-out of the Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company and the Thomas Webb and Sons brand in 1990. The new company moved all manufacturing and distribution to its site in Penicuik."
