Topic: Nigel Morton Glass

[David555]

Hi

I was wondering about a glass maker from Sunderland called Nigel Morton that I remember being active around the 1980s.

My mother had a gallery in Durham called the 'Saddler Gallery' which sold paintings / prints, ceramics and glass. Nigel Morton sold well from the gallery - I bought two of his smaller pieces.

When my whole family moved back up to Scotland in 1990 the connection was lost - I wonder if anyone knows if he is still active, I can't find anything on the net.

He had a medium sized workshop with assistants, and sold outside of Wearside, he trained at Sunderland.

This is a small vase 4.5" high - signed



This is a bottle 6" high and quite heavy - square shape with the sides having a slight swirling texture - signed and dated 1988
