Each country has its distinctive types
of glass. but it requires special and
well trained perception to tell the diff
ference betweea some Of the English
and Irish specimens of the last century
and the careful copies which are now
being made Of them In European facto-
ries. The latter, however. can gener-
ally be known by their greater white
ness and lightness OF weight. Water
ford glass is now the most sought after
by collectors. but equally beautiful
pieces were made In the Cork and Dub
lin glass houses. Glassmaking can be
traced back for about 2.300 years to the
people who lived on the eastern shores
of the Mediterranean. but its origin has
never really been fixed. Its ingredients
are still the same. and their proper
lions seem to have varied very little.
Silica and an akall-that is, quartz or
flint and potash or soda-are still used.
