Description

This is a set of glass shapes mounted in mahogany sliders. The glass is one-half inch thick, sometimes is single and sometimes in sections. The glass is unannealed and consequently when viewed by polarized light shows rainbow colors along the lines of internal tension. These are in excellent condition. Made by W. & S. Jones, London. The museum also has several much thicker glass shapes mounted in unvarnished wooden holders (not illustrated).
