Look for 'Ayre's Quay Bottle Works'. This was established about 1723, one of the proprietors, Mr. Wm. Barrass died on 23rd October 1790 and was buried at Gateshead. The bottle works were operated by various owners and finally from c1869 to 1923 by Laing, Horn, Scott and Co. In 1942 Sir James Laing built a new shipbuilding berth on the site.
There was also at Ayre's Quay, on the Ballast Hills, from 1802 the glassworks of R. Pemberton which seems to have operated until 1881, having other owners from 1853.
There is more information in "The Glass Industry of Tyne and Wear, Part 1: Glassmaking on Wearside" published by Tyne and Wear County Council Museums in 1979.
If you do a Google search for 'Ayre's Quay Bottle Works' one reference comes up on Rootsweb which has a link to a map showing the bottle works.

If you go to http://aesica.dur.ac.uk/pip/singlezoom.asp?img=p2636&ref1=2029
there is a lithograph of Hartley's glass works next to the terrace houses of the factory workers, and at the bottom you can see the three chimneys of the Wear Flint Glass Works on the opposite side of Trimdon Street.
