Explanation:
Come ha detto Sabrina si tratta di vetro proveniente da un'antica fabbrica di Temple, cittadina del New Hampshire, che ha preso il nome da John Temple.

http://www.nhes.state.nh.us/elmi/htmlprofiles/temple.htm

Temple, NH 03084
Origin: Like Sharon, this town was originally known as Peterborough Slip when first granted in 1750. Temple was incorporated in 1768 in honor of John Temple, lieutenant governor under John Wentworth. Temple was son-in-law to James Bowdoin, for whom Bowdoin College is named. Temple was home to the Temple Glass Works, founded in 1780. The short life of the business makes Temple glass rare and sought after today.
