In 1663, George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham took out a patent for extracting glass and crystals from flint, and, with an energy worthy of a member of the Royal Society, he founded a manufactory at Lambeth, for which he imported Venetian workmen.
In 1676, John Evelyn visited the Lambeth glassworks, and highly praises the wares produced there. He was evidently delighted with "the huge vases of metal as clear, ponderous, and thick as crystal; also looking-glasses far larger and better than any that come from Venice." 3
3 Evelyn's Diary, vol. ii. p. 322, 19 September, 1676.
