langhaugh:
As an irrelevant aside, "skookum" means very good or very strong. It's a word taken from a first nation language and is still in general use here.

And thanks, Anita, you finally revealed for me the meaning of the 'RHAG" stamped on a perfume bottle my mother had. To think how close I live to the Robert Held Studio.

Carolyn Preston:
An excellent thing to do when visiting Vancouver. Wonder of the studio is on Granvile Island?

Close to Granville Island but not quite. About 1/3 a mile away on Pine Street, if you know the area.

HI, looked at the link that was posted by txsilver on RHAG. Was struck by the similarities with their glass and isle of wight glass, which is not a bad thing because I absolutely love isle of wight glass. :) Henry

Henry:

Interesting connection as Robert Held played about the same role in the development of the studio glass movement in Canada as Michael Harris did in Britain. Sometimes that is lost as he does a fair bit of production work to keep glass workers and himself afloat.
