Apsley Pellatt

Apsley Pellatt (27 November 1791 – 17 August 1863) was an English glassware manufacturer and politician.

He took over the London-based glass-works on his father's death, renaming it Apsley Pellatt & Co.[1] His main interest lay in the chemistry of glass-making.

Pellatt became the most famous and successful producers of sulfides in England from 1819 to the mid-century rivalled only by Baccarat in France.

Pellatt was a public-spirited man who for some years served on the Common Council of the City of London.

He had married twice, firstly in 1814 to Sophronia, daughter of Thomas Kemp; she died in 1815 aged only 23.
