THE MANUFACTURE OF GREEN GLASS.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sia,—Having occasion to replace a green glass lamp-shade for the ordinary suspension lamp, I applied to a well-known firm of petrol gas specialists. They say : "We are sorry we cannot supply ; we have tried all the factories we know of for some time past to get these shapes in green cased glass. . . . The originals were pre-War stock, and obtained from the Continent. We could supply them in enamelled

iron green " am, Sir, &c., R. T. WATKIN WILLIAMS. Stockland, Devon.
