A Dissertation on Glass Container Design

JSGT 1934 V18 T112-T121

Present conditions are reviewed from the points of view of the buyer, the manufacturer and the designer. Factors governing the choice of closure are discussed. The designer should have personal contact with the glass-maker, as well as with the purchaser. The advantages of originality and novelty are discussed and the trick of deceptive capacity is condemned. Pottery shapes and ornamentation should not be reproduced by the glass designer. There should be stronger links between the glass manufacturer, the designer and the consumer.
