No chips or other blemishes. The patent application was submitted in August 1877 and was granted in February 1878. The desire was to imitate glass that has accrued natural iridescence when buried for a milleniam or two. This was achieved via exposure to the fumes produced by strontium, barium and tin chlorides and oxides in the kiln. Iridescent glass production in Stourbridge was started later, in 1877, by Thomas Wilkes Webb who patented an invention, for "An Improved Means of Producing Iridescent Colours on Glass". Thomas Webb & Sons exhibited this glass, which they called Bronze, at the Paris Exhibition of 1878. Bronze glass is produced by changing the chemical formula of glass using inorganic additives, creating glass products with color-altered properties. This process has significant advantages particularly in tropical contexts where solar heat and light management is key. If you need further information please do not hesitate to message me..
