Michael Edkins and the Problem of English Enamelled Glass

JSGT 1954 V38 T003-T016

In this account I have concentrated rather on Michael Edkins than on the other problems posed by English opaque-white glass, because his name and his legend have hitherto been one of the greatest obstacles to a proper understanding of them. That my findings are of such a negative character is a source of regret to myself, but my investigations have had their own inherent logic, and have led me to conclusions which I accept without enthusiasm.
