Description: | As well as manufacturing mass-produced pressed glass, Sowerby's ran an 'art glass' studio from around 1870. Work produced here was inspired by Eqyptian, Roman and Venetian glass styles. The rippling surface effect on the glass is known as 'wrythen ribbing' and is a decorative technique seen on a number of forms in this range. The twisting handle is also typical, as is its asymmetry. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East North East makers art designers made in the North East glass makers other cultures date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
