| Object history | This object was formerly in the collection of Barbara Morris, and was bequeathed by her to the Museum. Morris, who had worked in the V&A's Circulation Department, was a pioneer in the study of Victorian and Edwardian Decorative Arts. She had a particular interest in ceramics and glass of the period, examples of which she collected avidly. Historical significance: The form of the swan with its head cast down and by its side is very unusual. No other piece in this form exists in the V&A collection. |
