A glassmaker swinging a blowpipe over a pit in front of a furnace mouth: a brick-built glass furnace with a round glowing working hole, the glassblower in shirtsleeves, waistcoat and leather apron, the glowing gather of glass at the end of the long iron blowpipe, his gatherer boy in a cloth cap, shirt and waistcoat carrying an iron pontil, finished bottles stacked in a straw-lined crate, wooden benches and iron tools around, the shop lit by the furnace glow and daylight.
