About the Author
Jason Ellis has been passionate about glass for over twenty years. Jason began collecting antique glass when he worked near Dudley, where he regularly visited the manufacturers and their archives.
The Ellis family have been glassmakers since at least 1780 and to determine their role in glassmaking Jason has researched all the glassworks of the Stourbridge area, their proprietors and the craftsmen that worked in them. It took Jason nineteen years of research to produce his detailed history of the Stourbridge and Dudley glass industry.
Jason now lives in Harrogate, where he is a partner in an Information Technology consultancy.
