Reading edition
In "Philocothonista," 1635, p. 46, it is said: "Of glasses to qnaffe in, the fashions and sizes be almost without number, some transported hither from Venice and other places, some made in the Citie by strangers." The manufactory of glass at Venice was then very considerable. See Howell's "Letters," 1754, p. 56.
