Thank you, Christine   Some fascinating information there!  Especially the words describing faults in glass!  I expect to see far more accurate information about the nature of damage in people's ebay descriptions from now on    :24:

Christine that's great, thank you  :hiclp:

Some of the terms took me back to our visit to St. Helen's World of Glass, Christine - memories of which bring the terms to life.
There are also a good few words which could be used as expletives...

thanks very much indeed - this will be studied.

This is great for us novices - Thank you!

It also states, quite unambiguously, that a pontil is an iron rod.

thank you Christine  -  enormously valuable    I did toy with the idea of printing it off at work today - but was a little busy.   But when I get back to the office after Christmas, well...............

The original link is dead but I've tracked down a copy of the Glossary PDF via the Way Back Machine on archive.org - this link should give you a PDF download of the file.
