THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR.
GLASS, ETC.
In glass work, Mr. George Gatchell, of the Flint-Glass
Works, "Waterford, makes a very respectable show. ¥e
have engraved from his contributions a group, consisting
of a handsome Gandelabrum, made entirely of pure white
crystal, or flint-glass. It is fitted for
eight lights, and the forty pieces of
which it consists are so accurately put
together that there is no need of metal
connecting joints. As may be dis-
covered from the illustration, it is a
really beautiful object; and, standing
about three feet in height, is adapted
for a centre piece on a large table.
