notes: label: Description
content: These panes of glass were used in the Copp house in Stonington, Connecticut. The house was built around 1688, but the date of the glass installation is unknown. Lead glass was invented during the 1670s, and allowed for the production of glass at lower temperatures with easier malleability, lowering the cost of production and increasing its adoption for domestic purposes.
label: Description
content: The Copp Collection contains a variety of household objects that the Copp family of Connecticut used from around 1700 until the mid-1800s. Part of the Puritan Great Migration from England to Boston, the family eventually made their home in New London County, Connecticut, where their textiles, clothes, utensils, ceramics, books, bibles, and letters provide a vivid picture of daily life. More of the collection from the Division of Home and Community Life can be viewed by searching accession number 28810.
