EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print from the Mary Evans Collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate and labor-intensive process of glassmaking during this period. Titled "GLASS 18TH CENTURY 7: Glaces Preparing the Wooden Moulds," the image dates back to 1765. Glassmaking was a significant industry during the 18th century, with numerous glassworks producing various types of glassware for both domestic and decorative use. This print focuses on the production of "glaces," a type of glassware known for its translucent, crystal-clear appearance. The scene depicted in the print shows several artisans meticulously preparing wooden moulds for the creation of glace glass. The moulds, intricately carved with floral and geometric designs, are being sanded and smoothed by the craftsmen, ensuring that every detail is perfectly defined. The moulds are then coated with a layer of clay, known as "gauze," which acts as a release agent when the molten glass is poured into the mould. The glass itself is not visible in this print, but the intense focus on the preparation process underscores the importance of every step in the glassmaking process. The artisans' dedication to their craft is evident in their painstaking attention to detail and the care they take in preparing the wooden moulds. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of glassmaking during the 18th century and the skill and artistry required to create the beautiful and intricate glassware that was prized during this period. The intricate designs and delicate craftsmanship showcased in the print continue to captivate viewers and offer a window into the past.
