Greetings to all. This is my first time posting here, but I have been a happy lurker for a long time learning from all of you. I would greatly appreciate comments from anyone re the following statement that was made to me: 'Yes, Peking glass was made in China, but the green glass made in Czechoslovakia is correctly called Peking Glass, not because it is actually glass from Peking or the same process as Peking glass, but because it has been called that so consistently that it has become an accepted name for certain types of glass from Czechoslovakia. The Czechs call it Peking Glass.' Does anyone here agree with this? Thanks in advance for your help! Kind regards, Lyn All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
