||||||
| Only
a very few glass examples attributed to the 1839 Mallorytown Glassworks still
exist because the company had ceased production by 1840. Hidden by a farmers field for nearly a century,this historic site near Brockville,Ontario was rediscovered in 1953 and its excavation marked the beginning of a new widespread interest in Canadian glass history. Commissioned and authenticated by the Royal Ontario Museum, this reproduction is blown without molds in as historically authentic process. Examples of the reproduction are in the collections of the former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Governor General of Canada. Each example has an engraved signature in diamond point. |
