Description: | This highly decorated glass egg was made as a memorial to the famous Tyneside rower, James Renforth (1842-1871). Glass blowers made these individual pieces, known as 'friggers', from scrap glass. The egg has a photograph of James Renforth stuck to its inner surface. The pink and blue paint is also on the inner surface. We do not know the name of the man pictured on the stand. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East made in the North East sport industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
