What reading level is Chats On Household Curios book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such smoothers were at one time favoured in the kitchen laundry in the days when servant-maids excelled in getting up linen, and prided themselves on the beautiful gloss they were able to impart — in the days before public laundries with their modern glossing machines were instituted.
Some of our readers may have seen the curious glass tubes, one yard in length, into which ale was poured in the days when it was considered a desir- able attainment to be able to drink at one draught a "yard of al...e. " Of the larger vessels such as wine bottles, the chief collectable feature about them is the old glass-bottle- makers' stamps, very frequently found on fragments of bottles, such stamps often turning up among the oddments of kitchen drawers which have probably been undisturbed for many years. To collect bottle stamps is certainly an uncommon hobby, but one that is not altogether devoid of interest.
Ornaments of Glass.
Of household ornaments in glass there appears to be no end. There are the glass Venetian vases and ewers, beautiful and graceful in form, richly orna- mented in gold ; and there are the old English and French vases, the colouring of which is not always in accord with modern taste.
