What you should know about GlAss Time Museum And Shop
By 1902 there was a desperate shortage of bottles in New Zealand and Parliament took action in 1903 by putting bottles on the free import list. No longer restricted to buying from Britain, bottles and glassware poured into New Zealand from all over the world. No further interest was shown in setting up a glassworks in New Zealand until the 1920's, when the Australian Glass Manufacturers Company, who were exporting masses of bottles to New Zealand, saw an opportunity. In 1950 the same company set up Crown Crystal Glass in Christchurch to make tableware.
The third edition has recently been published with a huge amount of information. It comprises an interesting economic and social history of 19th century company failures, the bottle works in Penrose, the story of Crown Crystal Glass, and the small studio workshops and glass artists.
