:''This article is about glassware manufacturer Astley Pellatt (1791–1863). For his father, Apsley Pellatt (1763–1826), see Apsley Pellatt (1763–1826). Apsley Pellatt (27 November 1791 – 17 August 1863) was an English glassware manufacturer and politician. He was born the son of glassware maker Apsley Pellatt (1763–1826) and Mary (née Maberly) Pellatt. ==Glassmaking career== He joined the family glass-making company of Pellatt and Green in 1811. He took over the London-based glass-works on his father's death, renaming it Apsley Pellatt & Co.〔http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/barker/manufacturers/manufac_pellatt.php〕 His main interest lay in the chemistry of glass-making. In 1819, he took out his first patent for the manufacture of "sulfides" or Cameo Incrustations. Pellatt originally called them "Crystallo-Ceramie," reflecting their French origin.〔http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/mann-p.htm〕 The process involved the embedding of ceramic figurines into the glass sides of paperweights, jugs, decanters, etc., by cutting a hole in the hot glass, sliding in the insert, and resealing the glass afterward. Pellatt became the most famous and successful producers of sulfides in England from 1819 to the mid-century rivalled only by Baccarat in France. He described their manufacture in a book on glass-making entitled "Curiosities of Glassmaking" published in 1849. After his retirement around 1850, the glass-works went into decline in the hands of his brother Frederic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apsley Pellatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
