The Scottish history behind sea glass & where it comes from:
From the 1700’s until the mid 1950’s, glass factories lined the coastline of Scotland and manufactured bottles, decorative tableware, perfume bottles, window panes and other items. This was a thriving and crucial industry here in Scotland for hundreds of years. These factories often dumped the waste glass directly into the sea and over decades and even hundreds of years the chemical reaction with the saltwater and abrasion from sand and rocks has created beautifully frosted pieces of sea glass.
The history behind this piece:
Yellow sea glass is one of the very rarest sea glass colours in the world. The yellow colour comes from selenium, added during manufacture. The age of this sea glass is anywhere between 1880 and 1920.
