Old Glass Recipes and History
http://www.ecu.edu/glassblowing/oldrecipes.htm



Introduction:  I found the Book of Formulas, Recipes,
Methods and Secret Processes at a public library
tag sale. With a title like this and a price tag of 
25 cents - who could resist? I have found the publication
educational and entertaining on many aspects of life
in the early part of this century, when many items
were made in the home and not purchased in a store. 
Homemade adhesives, cosmetics, perfumes, paints
and whitewashes, chemistry, metals, arts and
decorations, the topics go on and on. Technical
information is claimed to have come from authoritative
sources at the time, including U.S. Government scientists
and industrial scientists of high standing. The following
glass related information is for your enjoyment.


Notice: The following historical data and information
is for your entertainment and educational purposes
only. Some of the recipes and procedures may contain
information and/or material that is or may be harmful
to you or the environment. The author of this web site,
