Welcome to our website
The Worshipful Company of Glass-Sellers and Looking-Glass Makers of London received its Charter in 1664. Initially founded to regulate the Glass-Selling and Pot-Making industries within the City of London, the role of the livery company today is to:
- Maintain cordial relationships within the Company, the City and the glass industry
- Stimulate interest in glass in all its aspects
- Carry out charitable works, with special emphasis on education
- Maintain the Company's traditions, values and customs
- Provide pastoral care for members in distress
- Support the Lord Mayor & the Corporation of the City of London
Our site contains a wealth of interesting information about our livery company, its history and traditions and about glass, one of the most versatile and useful materials ever discovered by mankind. A versatility that continues to this day. The Pages of this website will almost certainly have passed along fibre optic cables on its way to your computer, an indispensable use for glass in the modern world.
