Description: | Designs such as these were registered to prevent other glass manufacturers from copying them. The machinery involved in the manufacture of pressed glass meant that it was easier to produce when compared with the time, skill and strength required to blow glass. This process reduced cost, making glass affordable for those who would not have been able to own it previously. This increase in demand led to a huge increase in the output of Sowerby glass. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | invention and innovation living in the North East art designers made in the North East glass makers children date period education industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
