Information about Glass:

Glass is a fused mixture of sodium or potassium silicates with one or more of the in soluble silicates with varying proportions of other substances which produce colors, or give to the glass some especial features like certain refractive indexes or tolerance to reagents. The silicate is derived from the sand (silicon dioxide, silica, quartz) used, and in practice is mixed with sodium carbonate and the other ingredients, and fused,the silica entering into chemical combination with the base to form the glass.
Window glass is made by fusion of a mixture of sand, sodium carbonate or sodium sulfate, and calcium carbonate (limestone) in fire clay pots.
Bottle glass is green due to the iron it contains, and arsenious oxide (white arsenic) is often added to counteract this green color by oxidizing the iron. Flint and lead glass are made from ground flint, lead oxide, and potassium carbonate, with or without the addition ofsaltpeter, and is very fusible. Ordinary household articles such as drinking tumblers, vinegar jugs and decanters, are made from this quality of glass.
