Glass News

The Association for the History of Glass publishes Glass News which is the newsletter of the AHG. It was first published in 1996 and is now published twice a year. It publishes short articles on new discoveries and ongoing research, reviews of conferences and books, and notices of forthcoming events. Previous issues have included articles on subjects as diverse as A medieval high-lead glass beaker from Oxford, Rituals Connected with Breaking Glass, the experimental Roman Glass furnace project, the metallurgical and technological origins of glass, Tudor Glass from Gutter Lane, and the provenance of the Portland Vase.
