Description: | This simply shaped vase is based on the design of pottery storage jars that were common in Ancient Greece and Italy. Hand-blown in vibrant blue glass, this vase has a jewel-like quality far from the humble clay pot that inspired it. This object was produced in a special 'art glass' studio established at the Sowerby Ellison Works around 1870 in response to a growing taste for Venetian style glass in England. Much of the glass produced in this studio was inspired by early Egyptian, Roman and Venetian style glass. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East makers 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 |
