Quintin, Thomas, London, glass-maker (c. 1760–1810). Trade card, c.1760, shows him in partnership with Weatherby, Crowther & Windle at 106 East Smithfield, with manufactory at the Green Yard, making glass articles such as chandeliers and candle-shades. In 1781 the firm was styled Thomas Quintin & Co., in 1786, Thomas Quintin & Son, and from 1799–1810, Quintin & Son, the London Plate Glass Co. Quintin gave evidence before the Parliamentary Committee of 1773, stating that he had made very few glass plates, the largest being 84 by 38 ins, and that he had never sold one. He could cast plates, ‘but not in the Manner they do in France.’ By 1815 the firm had been succeeded by Macnamara & Brett. [Wills, Looking-Glasses]
