Gallery label
This example sold through the London shop, Liberty's. The maker has not been identified. Daum Frères in France made glass similar in style and technique to this, as did the German company WMF as part of their 'Ikora' range, as well as Charles Schneider in northern France and Leerdam in the Netherlands. Liberty records do not identify any of these glassworks as supplying the company; a similar glass is illustrated in a Liberty catalogue of 1922.
