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.

I also have the catalogue for Part 1 of this auction on Ebay. I will combine postage for both catalogues.
