CORK: 1782 TO 1844.

Finely cut glass of every description, delicate engraving on blown

ware, gilding; particularly famous for its rummers, heavy and

light-blown decanters, and, after 1800, whole dessert services of

beautiful colour and various cutting. Black glass was made here in

1785, and window glass in 1782.

As the card of membership of the Cork Glass Cutters' Union (shown on

Plate I.) proves, "lustre" cutting was popular here.
