In 1757 the firms of Deane and Hawkshaw were amalgamated 

 and the combined concern carried on the manufacture of bottles. 



In 1758 besides bottles, Deane and Hawkshaw advertised 

 large glass bells for gardens, as then used in London ; glass vessels 

 suitable for all kinds of picklings and sweetmeats ; particular kinds 

 of bottles for preserving orange and lemon juice; gardevins ; rounds 

 for apothecaries and any green or bottle glassware desired; and in 

 1 76 1 it is stated in the Dublin Journal that the manufacture of 

 glass bottles at the Round Glass-house in Abbey Street had 

 arrived at such a degree of perfection that not a single bottle had 

 been imported by any merchant in this kingdom for several months 

 past, either from Bristol, Liverpool, or any other part of England, 

 and that the proprietors could afford to sell their bottles for i8s. 

 per gross, being 6s. cheaper than those formerly imported from 

 England. 



In 1756 Hawkshaw and Co. received ^^1,500 and Deane & 

 Co. ;;^2,ooo from Parliament for carrying on the glass manufacture 

 and in 1767 Dean and Hawkshaw obtained ;^i5o from the Dublin 

 Society for window glass valued at ^2,600, and in 1769 ^200 for 

 window glass and bottles valued at nearly ^10,000. 



Some of Deane's expenses, when he started in 1754, are of 

 sufificient interest to mention, viz. : — p^8oo for Stourbridge clay ; 

 ^^30 for Irish clay ; £,\^ for colouring ; ^10 for sand ; and ;!^4io 

 to fifty-four persons from abroad to settle and carry on the 

 manufacture. 



Deane's name appears as a glass manufacturer in Lower 

 Abbey Street in Dublin directories until about 1793. The latest 

 notice in the newspapers of this factory occurs about 1773, and in 

 1784 Deane's name appears in the House of Commons Journal 

 among those protesting against the pulling down of the glass- 

 houses in the city of Dublin. By an Act of Parliament of 1783-4 

 the erection of glass-houses within tne city of Dublin was pro- 

 hibited. 



In 1734 a glass-house was erected in Fleet Street, Dublin, 

 nearly opposite Price's Lane, for the manufacture of flint and green 

 glass. An advertisement in the Dublin Journal for October, 1 734,
