Description: | This port glass was bought in 1945 for 1/6d (1 shilling and sixpence) from a London branch of Woolworth's. It was one of the first to be made available in the store after the austerity of the war years. Throughout World War II Woolworth's had managed to maintain stocks of essential china and glassware, although wartime restrictions meant that such items were primarily functional rather than decorative. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1945 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
