Isle of Wight Glass Studio and Mdina Glass

There has been heightened interest in studio glass designed and made by the Harris family since Mark Hill's book was published in September 2006. Prices are rising and many items are much more difficult to find in the marketplace.

The Mdina glass listed mainly covers the ealier period when Michael Harris was in Malta and the time immediately after while his design influence was strongest.

The Isle of Wight glass includes vintage pieces from the early 1970's through to items that are still currently in production.

Lalique and More French Glass

The Lalique glass listed is all made post 1945 after the death of Rene Lalique. The Baccarat and Daum glass are from the same period. Rene Lalique was a prolific designer and it is a tribute to his skill that much of the Lalique glass sold today was designed by him in the first half of the 20th Centuary. The family tradition was continued by his son, Marc, and grand-daughter, Maire-Claude, both of whom have contributed many designs to the Lalique catalogue.

Whitefriars Glass

Whitefriars glass has been made since the 17th centuary, this site concentrates on glass produced post war from 1945 through to when the factory closed in 1980.

A wide range of pieces are listed including afforable smaller cased items through to the larger textured pieces which in recent years have commanded ever increasing prices.

Wedgwood Glass and Dartington Glass

Wedgwood Glass was created when Wedgwood took over the King's Lynn Glass. Ronald Stennett Wilson was the chief designer in to the 1970's.

Dartington Glass opened in the late 1960's and is stll producing glass today. Frank Thrower was the principle designer for 20 years and following the publication of the new books there has been a strong interest in Frank's designs.
