  The art of glass shewing how to make all sorts of glass, crystal and enamel : likewise the making of pearls, precious stones, china and looking-glasses : to which is added, the method of painting on glass and enameling : also how to extract the colours from minerals, metals, herbs and flowers ... : illustrated with proper sculptures / written originally in French, by Mr. H. Blancourt, and now first translated into English ; with an appendix, containing exact instructions for making glass-eyes of all colours.

summary:
  If any of this Glass be cast into a Furnace , you may see what a vast number of Colours it is susceptible of , even beyond Comparison . The Name of Glass , which the French , Germans , and English have given it , seems to be taken from its resembling or approaching somewhat in its Colour to † Azure , or Sky-colour .
