Who are the important British Domestic Glass designers of the 20th century?

Fraaaaaaaaank! It's not an ideal world out there, and a museum has to start somewhere. Surely the most important thing is securing items for preservation before the history is lost? We could argue which nationalilities should be included until the cows come home...but it's not progress for the museum, is it? :huh:
I just can't imagine the complexities of starting a museum from scratch. I guess one has to keep it simple to start with?
Frank:
:) Sure Max. I was discussing issues raised and exploring them, not particularly making judgements.

You all appear to have forgotten the two most influential, Adam Dodds I, and Ernest Jobling-Purser.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Bernard. Adam Dodds I for his Tynesyde Glassware (and more). And may I add John Jenkins too?

I forgot to say why. Thanks, Glen, for explaining Adam's grandfather. I included Ernest Jobling-Purser, not for his 1930s art glass, much of it modelled by Etienne Franckhauser (sic), but for his Pyrex.
What was important was what was sold in huge quantities in Woolworth's, Home & Colonial, and the Co-op, not expensive glass sold to the wealthy in a handful of London shops.
Now, Glen, who was John Jenkins? I've heard the name before, but I can't remember where!
