Description: | 'Gold' and 'blue nugget' glass was first produced by Sowerby in 1883. A story attached to the production of these two types of nugget glass was passed down by generations of Sowerby glass workers in which it was suggested that the nuggets were formed from handfuls of gold sovereigns occasionally thrown by J G Sowerby into the pots of molten amber glass. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East makers craft art designers made in the North East glass makers date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
