The cut and engraved glass of Corning, 1868-1940. Spillman, Jane Shadel und Este
Einband leicht berieben. - The story of the glass industry in Corning is based on an interlocking relationship of individual businessmen, glassmakers, cutters, engravers, and the multitude of companies which marketed their products. The names sometimes become little more than a bewildering list, but these men were the creators of some of the most exquisite glass ever made. Their story begins in Brooklyn in 1864 when the glass works near the South Ferry, formerly occupied by the bankrupt Brooklyn Flint Glass Works, was acquired by the Houghton family of Somerville, Massachusetts. Hoare & Dailey, a Brooklyn cutting firm, owned the company's cutting department. As the Amory Houghtons, Sr. and Jr., strove to make the factory successful, labor troubles and fire conspired against them.
