Dimensions in cm: Height 24 x Width 13 x Depth 13 Dimensions in inches: Height 9 inches x Width 5 inches x Depth 5 inches Stuart Crystal: The Shape of an Era I have always found crystal to be uniquely magical, with its intricate facets breaking light into little shards of the rainbow, but I had little concept of where or how it was made until recently. As near as we can ascertain, crystal owes its origins to man’s desire to imitate nature, in essence; taking cues from naturally-occurring rock crystal, mankind developed glass into what we know as crystal today by adding metals to change the character of the glass. Lead was found to produce the best result, helping to create a product that is strong and durable (with a distinct “ring” to it when tapped), but pleasant to handle also, being smooth and warm to the touch. And, perhaps most importantly of all, lead crystal has a brilliant, clear, silvery appearance that responds wonderfully to cutting. England is one of the great glass-making centres of the world, and the area of crystal is no exception. The tradition began with George Ravenscroft, who established a glasshouse in London in 1673, patenting a process for making “flint glass” (AKA lead crystal) shortly thereafter, upon finding that the addition of lead improved the quality of his glass. He continued experimenting with the exact chemical composition of his “flint glass,” eventually eliminating initial flaws and exacting the science. Over time, the majority of crystal glass production in England moved to the Crystal Mile in Stourbridge, part of the Black Country’s industrial heartland, and it is here that Stuart Crystal’s story begins. In 1827, an eleven year old orphan by the name of Frederick Stuart was sent to work at the Redhouse Glassworks on the Crystal Mile, carrying on the glassmaking traditions of the generations before him. Young Stuart likely worked in what to us might look like something of an alien landscape, with great brick cones towering up to nearly 100 feet high, and coal-burning furnaces raging constantly, filling the air with soot. Stuart, however, appears to have been undaunted by his environment, and by 1853 he, along with Richard Mills, Edward Webb, and Thomas Webb, formed the firm of Mills, Webb & Stuart. By the time the irascible Stuart retired at the remarkable age of 82, the firm had come to be dominated entirely by he and his sons, making it an entirely Stuart affair. Over the coming generations, these young men carried on...Category
