    ORIGINAL 1930s TRADE - ADVERTISING CARD
    ROMAN GLASS VESSELS
    From the Phoenician city of Sidon the art
    of glass-blowing spread all over the Roman
    Empire even as far as the remote colony
    of Britain where remains of what might
    well have been workshops and ovens have
    been discovered. Roman glass in Britain
    is remarkably well-preserved, its composition
    enabling itto resist acids jp the soil. Glass
    made of soda, lime, and silica., and the
    gradual elimination of excess of soda causes
    disintegration of the surface, Vhus producing
    the brilliant iridescence often seen in Roman
    glass. These vessels are in the British
    Museum.
