Description: | Attributing pieces to the London glassworks factory Whitefriars is not always a very exact science. This hyacinth vase has a look of Whitefriars, and a sketchbook of Harry Powell?s illustrates similar embossed prunts (the yellow/green blobs of glass) and trailing stems, as here where a clear stem of glass trails down the vase. However, it has no exact match and it is more likely to have been made by John Walsh Walsh of Birmingham. The glass making industry in England was traditionally located in the West Midlands, and although London-based Whitefriars is canonised as the more creative firm, ideas, designs and techniques flowed between the two centres, sometimes making individual pieces difficult to distinguish. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Geffrye Museum | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | c.1900-1920 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | John Walsh Walsh Ltd, Soho and Vesta Glass Works | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
