Journal of The Glass Association Geoffrey Baxter Story

This is Volume 4 of the Journal of the Glass Association released in 1992. The Glass Association, founded in 1983 and based in Broadfield House Glassmuseum seeks to research glass and educate all those interested in glass in all matters to do with the subject. In 1985 they released their first journal which they then released roughly every three years. It generally deals with the history of glass from the 18th to 20th centuries. They have articles written by some of the most eminent experts, authors and collectors of glass.

Arguably one of the most interesting articles in Volume 4 is a great piece by Brian Cargin and Basil Loveridge on Whitefriars Lookalikes, 7 pages long with b&w photos. After the Whitefriars factory shut in 1980 interest in the company waned for several years, apart from some dedicated collectors and dealers, and much of the knowledge was lost. This article predates the Jackson and Evans books amd exhibitions of 1996. It could be seen as a first attempt to boost the profile of Whitefriars glass and in particular the designs of the great Geoffrey Baxter. It is basically the story of Baxter's life as a designer for Whitefriars, from his early days as a student, to joining the company in 1954 and all the way to the end of Whitefriars in 1980. The article was compiled using tapes from interviews with Baxter by the authors.

There is also a excellent article written by Lesley Jackson about the British Glass industry in the 1950's. This includes references to Whitefriars, Webb, Chance and Stuart glass amongst others.

Below is the full list of all the articles in the Journal. If you require any more information on these then let me know.

Early Nineteenth Century Patterns from the Ford Ranken Archive.
The Accounts Books of John Unsworth - Glass Engraver of Warrington.
Glass Furniture in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries.
"Synchronising with Contemporary Taste" - the British Glass Industry in the 1950's.

The Journal is in very good condition with minimal wear. The whole journal has 50 pages.

WHITEFRIARS: Christies The Parkington Collection 1998

SOLD!!!!!!

WHITEFRIARS: Christie's "The Parkington Collection Part II" Catalogue 1998

Michael Parkington was one of the world's foremost glass collectors. Parkington, died in 1994 aged 71, he was a solicitor who's most famous case was while in South Africa defending Nelson Mandela on treason charges in the early Sixties.


As with many collectors, Parkington didn't just have glass as a passion. He had earlier collected silver. His Kensington flat was packed to the rafters with glass of all ages, types and companies. Monart, Vasart, Gray-Stan, Stuart, Nazeing, Stevens & Williams, Varnish Glass, 18th & 19th Century Glass and much more. He was introduced to Whitefriars glass in the early nineties and very quickly built up an amazing collection from Harry Powell to Geoffrey Baxter pieces. 3 years after his death his collection was put up for auction at Christie's in a sale split into two parts such was the scale of the auction.


This catalogue is the sale catalogue "The Parkington Collection Part II". It has colour photographs of some stunning glass, much of it very rare. There is a lot of companies' glass in it including some fantastic Monart glass, Powell and 1930's Whitefriars, Webb, John Walsh Walsh, Stourbridge, superb Ysart paperweights and 18th and 19th Century Glass.


The catalogue is in very good condition with only minor wear. There are 62 pages detailing 477 lots including the prices for Part 1. I also have sheets detailing prices for Part 2.

Journal of The Glass Association Volume 5 - Whitefriars Lookalikes

This is Volume 5 of the Journal of the Glass Association released in 1997. The Glass Association, founded in 1983 and based in Broadfield House Glassmuseum seeks to research glass and educate all those interested in glass in all matters to do with the subject. In 1985 they released their first journal which they then released roughly every three years. It generally deals with the history of glass from the 18th to 20th centuries. They have articles written by some of the most eminent experts, authors and collectors of glass.


Arguably one of the most interesting articles in Volume 5 is a great piece by Lesley Jackson on Whitefriars Lookalikes, 15 pages long with colour and b&w photos. Lesley Jackson is most famous for her work on the book "Whitefriars Glass: The Art of James Powell & Sons" which was produced to accompany the exhibition of the same name at Manchester City Art Galleries in 1996. The article in this particular journal follows on from this in that one of the difficulties experienced in researching for the exhibition were the sheer number of pieces by contemporaries that were so similar. After the Whitefriars factory shut in 1980 any interest in the company waned for several years and much of the knowledge was lost.


The article was written to complement Jacksons book. The exhibition involved extensive research to weed out non-Whitefriars pieces by obtaining hard facts rather than relying on long held assumptions. The article starts off with the mid Nineteenth century and goes up to the pre WWII era. There is some info on post war glass but as this is so well documented and catalogued, in depth analysis is not so important. Many other factories are covered such as Webb, Stuart, Stevens & Williams and the Stourbridge area where similarities exist.


Below is the full list of all the articles in the Journal. If you require any more information on these then let me know.
