| Production | Part of a set of clear, green table glass designed by the Glasgow architect and designer George Henry Walton (1867–1933). This set of tewnty was exhibited at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition 1903. Ten surviving pieces of this set were given to the Museum by George’s widow Mrs George Walton. Barbara Morris assumed that these were probably made by Powell’s. However, George Walton is not mentioned in the Whitefriars book by Evans, Ross and Werner. In Lesley Jackson, Whitefriars Glass: Art of James Powell & Sons, 1996, George Walton is mentioned, but not as a designer for Whitefriars. In the catalogue of the Arts & Crafts Exhibition 1903, no manufacture is specified for the set. Powell’s also participated in the exhibition. |
