    Actually with the amount of English people in India in the past it seems a perfect place to find imported marbles IMO.

    Yes there is some really top notch Cooper preserve Jars that come out of India 1840 / 60s era Stephen Green pottery and some great stone " Hamilton " bottles

    Found some Santa Claus packaging in the study hall,,,,,,, Japanese packaging Post # 11

  4. Thought this might interest handmade collectors and contemporary artists,

    I like it for the illustrated description of how they were making marble cane, The book is devoted to making glass products so there is a lot to see if your into that as well

    written in 1849

    Pg 106
