Designed by Jim Dyer for Liskeard Glass and dating from the 1970s here is a fabulous turquoise and clear glass B1 knobbly bowl. Liskeard Glass in Cornwall, now known as Merlin Glass, employed ex-Whitefriars employees which would probably explain the similarities to the Whitefriars knobbly range. In a vibrant shade of turquoise glass lavishly encased in clear and with the Liskeard Glass 'LG' monogram to the base this is a thick and chunky piece of glass that looks brilliant on display. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Fortunately one of these lovely glasses still has it's original gold and black foil label which reads 'JH Elegance Made in England' but, apart from this information we know nothing else about the company. However, we do know that they're decorative and usuable items with a wonderfully typically late 1960s space/bubble motif running down the sides and a textured surface pattern elsewhere - this is a set of two tumblers - one with it's original foil label. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Offered for sale here is a fabulous and very unusual glass goblet designed and hand made by the legendary Annette Meech in 1973 at the Old Glassworks in Covent Garden, London. This is a very early piece of Annette's work - she graduated from the Royal College of Art just the year before and the brown/milky effect to the glass was caused by using silver chloride. Annette Meech is particularly well-known for designing the iconic 'Apollo' and other glasswear for Ravenhead. In 1999 she moved her glasswork to France (Sivignon) where she continues to produce beautiful hand made art glass to this day. Don't miss out - this is an extremely rare and early piece of her work - thick and heavy, this looks impressive on display. Fully signed to the base with 'Annette Meech 1973'. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

These are simply stunning - the photographs do not do them justice or convey the true inky blue colour of the glass which, in reality, is a much purplier hue. They're thick and heavy at just over 300g per glass (nearly 1300g combined total weight) and ooze quality. They're not old - we've seen modern production of these on a specialist Bristol Blue glass website where virtually identical glasses are currently retailing at £26 each plus postage - we're selling these at just £70 for the set of 4 including postage to UK destinations which equates to just £17.50 per glass. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
SIZE: Height 4.25in/11cm Combined Weight 1290g
CONDITION: Gorgeous new condition with no chips cracks or fleabites and no surface wear.
