| Object history | 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. Three surviving pieces of this set were given to the Museum by George’s widow Mrs George Walton in 1934, and another seven in 1953. |
| Production | When these three glasses were given to the Museum by the Widow of George Walton in 1934, they were believed to be part of a group of glasses made to Walton's design by a group of glassblowers from Venice, at the Italian Exhibition, Earl's Court, 1904. However, they clearly belong to a set of table glass designed by Walton and exhibited at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition in London in 1903. |
