Description: | The design for this small vase is based on Walter Crane's illustration 'Multiplication', from 'Baby's Own Alphabet' published in 1875. Walter Crane (1845-1915) was a leading British artist and designer. Pressed glass provided Sowerby's with the ideal method by which to accurately transfer the detail contained in an illustration into relief. This process also enabled Sowerby's to produce any number of the same design. To reproduce Crane's illustrations, the mould makers at Sowerby's painstakingly made copies of Crane's picture-books. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East art designers made in the North East glass makers children date period education industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
