Who are the important British Domestic Glass designers of the 20th century?
johnphilip:
How about H J Dunne-Cooke.You only have to look in the V&A And other Museums to see his work and how important his contribution was.
Patrick:
Hi, As the grandson of James Hogan I think I should put his name forward to be included on the list........
In 1936 along with Keith Murray,he was awarded the honor "Designer for Industry of the Royal Society of Arts", (abbreviated "R.D.I."). At that time he was chief glass designer at Whitefriars and a fruit bowl,water set and decanter are on display at the V@A. His 9280 Embassy wine suite was used in all British Embassies from 1949 up till 1966.
Best wishes Patrick.
johnphilip:
I agree with Patrick, his grandfather was also involved with Dunne- Cooke at Whitefriars and they came up with some great designs,D C also designed for a couple of major Swedish companies, but there is little info on him,I am sure at least one of you will put that right.
