Description: | This jug is one of Sowerby's later works produced in their 'art glass' studio. Between around 1860-1870 Venetian glass was becoming increasingly popular in England. At the same time, interest grew in old glass making techniques associated with hand blown glass. This work was not produced as part of a trade line nor was it advertised. Instead it is associated with a move in the production of 'aesthetic glass'. On the whole the 'aesthetic movement' rejected the concept of mass production. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement craft art designers made in the North East glass makers date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
