lu that year they obtained a premium for their glass from the Eoyal 

 Dublin Society, and in 1792 stated that they were at full work making flint 

 glass ; and, later in the same year, that as the flint-glass manufacture was well 

 established, they intended to start the bottle and window-glass house, for 

 which purpose they would take in one or two partners. 



In 1793 the partners were Allen, Hickman, and Hayes, who carried on 

 the business until about 1805, though after 1800 only black bottles are 

 advertised. 



Atwell, Hayes, & Co. received premiums from the Eoyal Dublin Society 

 for their glass, the value of which amounted to £1600 in 1787, £2304 m 1792, 

 and £500 m 1793. 



The manufacture appears to have ceased for a few years after about 1805 ; 

 but about 1810 Smith, Wliite, & Co. appear as proprietors of the Cork Glass 

 House. Wliite retired in 1812, and from that year until about 1818 the 

 business was carried ou under the name of William Smith & Co. 



In 1818 the old Hanover Street glass house was offered for sale, " with the 

 consent of all concerned." 



The proprietors stated that the premises extended from Hanover Street 

 to Lamley's Lane, and had a quay on the south side of the river, that the 

 glass house contained every accommodation for making flint glass and black 

 bottles, and that the glass-cutting machinery was modern and had as a moving 

 power a steam-engine lately erected. 



The sale was objected to by John Graham and Edward Brown, who stated 

 that they had an interest in the Hanover Street glass house. However, in 

 1818, the stock of glass of the Hanover Street factory was sold by auction, 

 including cut lustres, Grecian lamps, one four-hght Grecian lamp, richly 

 cut, with patent drops ; hall-globes, side bells, candlesticks, dessert sets, 

 butter-coolers, pickle-glasses, sugar-bowls, cream-ewers, jelly glasses, salts, 

 jugs, decanters, rummers, wine, and finger-glasses, etc. 



Graham and Brown, previously mentioned, had a glass-cutting shop at 

 Glanmu'e, close to Cork ; and in 1820 they stated that, owing to the introduc- 

 tion of English glassware, they would open a shop on the Grand Parade for 

 the sale by auction of theii' own glass. This glass was probably made some 

 time previously in Hanover Street and cut by them at Glanmire. 



The Cork Glass House Company in Hanover Street had probably ceased 

 work by about 1818. 



In 1810 the name of Daniel Foley appears in Cork directories as the 

 proprietor of a glass wareroom in Hanover Street ; and in 1815 he started a 

 glass factory in the same street, under the name of the Waterloo Glass House 

 Company, for making flint and bottle glass.
