Attached People: Collector (major) - Bargrave, John (1610-1680)Location(s): Current location at - Canterbury Cathedral Library and Archives (Library and/or Archive) -> Canterbury Cathedral (Institution)
Annotation:[Canterbury Catalog: 35 small red glass ornaments. These tiny stones appear to be spoils or waste material from glass manufacture. They are small enough to be used in jewellery setting. Probably Venetian in origin given Bargrave's time spent there and the city's reputation for glass production.] (approx early - mid 17th cent)
