 | The History of Glass in NZ The fascinating story of the many attempts to make glass in New Zealand before the 20th century, and why they failed; the urgent need for a bottle factory in New Zealand and eventual success in 1922; the story of Crown Crystal glass, New Zealand's first and only successful glassware factory; and the rise of the studio glass movement in the late 20th century. |
 | Crown Crystal Glass New Zealand catalogues Included on the CD are 98 pages of catalogues and articles about Crown Crystal Glass, the only glassware factory which ever survived more than a few years in New Zealand. These catalogues give you definitive information on the designs, patterns and colours made in New Zealand. |
