Liskeard Glass

Post by big ed on Thu Mar 26, 2009 1:52 pm

Liskeard Glass, Cornwall, was founded by John Randle in 1970. Items have an impressed LG logo to the base.

This vase was designed by Jim Dyer, brother of Harry Dyer who along with William Wilson designed the famous Whitefriars knobbly vases. Dyer and 3 other former Whitefriars workers joined Liskeard and together with Liam Carey were very successful. The works were bought by former Michael Harris apprentice Tim Bristow in 1979-83. Now called Merlin Glass, it is run by former apprentice, now owner Liam Carey, producing paperweights and art glass.

I like those creations and it is looking very beautiful too, I just need to ask as if these creations can be done with antique crockery that will look very beautiful and royal.

Thanks
