I have some kind of information here.
I found a report (probably THE report) about Davenport of Fleet Street supplying the crockery and glass in:
No 1554. The Examiner, Sunday 12 November 1837:
page 729.
https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Examiner/zWiNg5Znyt4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=guildhall+topaz+glass&pg=PA729&printsec=frontcover1) It says :
'
The china and cut glass were provided by Messrs. Davenport of Fleet Street.'
It says the request was given at the last minute but that due to '
almost incredible exertion it was completed on Monday last and forwarded to town from their factory in Staffordshire'. Note - 1. it makes a point of saying the request was given at the last minute. It does not say they made it all. It says they 'forwarded' it from their factory in Staffordshire.
2) The article talks about the china and how it was all decorated and then says of the glass:
'
The decanters, claret jugs, champazne, hock and other glasses, were all richly cut, and ornamented with a vine border, varied with the rose, thistle, and shamrock, and the Royal arms. The supply for Her Majesty's table consisted of three dozen wine glasses, three dozen small claret glasses, three dozen large ditto, three dozen champagne ditto, two dozen liqueuer ditto, two dozen goblets, two dozen carafes and tumblers, two dozen hexagon massive decanters, one dozen claret ditto, 18 wine-glass coolers, two dozen topaz-coloured hock glasses, six water jugs, one dozen topaz-coloured finger glasses, two dozen ice-plates and four antique earthenware jugs with the Royal and city arms in relief.'
Note - 1. The topaz-coloured hock glasses are very definitely listed as hock glasses. I wonder if that 'hock glass' means a 'Römer'? I think I recall that
the word 'hock' was used to refer to German wine hence my query over whether this is being used to described a Römer. Also they specifically
talk about glasses and goblets and then 'hock glasses' is listed separately.
Stephan Buse shows these from Theresienthal dated c.1840. They are tall examples but there were many in the 1840 catalogue of the
standard cup shape with roemer stems as well so just showing these as an example:
http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/buch4b.html Shorter examples here:
https://antikes-glas.de/formglas/weinroemer-c-248_255.html 2. There are also topaz-coloured finger
glasses - not finger bowls or wine glass rinsers but 'finger
glasses'.
3. There are two dozen ice plates. They appear to be a listed as a separate item to me without any bowls to go with. Therefore I assume not a 'set'
with that uranium bowl on top which is what is assumed from the photograph of both items together in the V&A.
list for ease of reading with possibly relevant items to this research bolded:
-three dozen wine glasses,
-three dozen small claret glasses,
-three dozen large ditto,
-three dozen champagne ditto,
-two dozen liqueuer ditto,
-two dozen goblets,
-two dozen carafes and tumblers,
-two dozen hexagon massive decanters,
-one dozen claret ditto,
-18 wine-glass coolers, -two dozen topaz-coloured hock glasses,
-six water jugs,
-one dozen topaz-coloured finger glasses,
-two dozen ice-plates 3) The article carries on discussing more glass and lists hundreds of items of glass for the guests/rest of the event.I'm not going to type it all up but
interesting to note that
- 500 or 800 (difficult to read) emerald green hock glasses were included in the list.
Note - 1. The description of the glass in the article begins by saying 'The decanters, claret jugs, champazne, hock and other glasses, were all richly cut,
and ornamented with a vine border, varied with the rose, thistle, and shamrock, and the Royal arms.'
It only then goes on to discuss the glass for Queen Vic's table and separately afterwards the glass for the masses. The way it was written
implies the glass for ALL was richly cut and ornamented, not just that for Queen Vic's table.
2. I have seen a report on uranium glass recently, that iirc mentioned that uranium glass was used to create the emerald green glass.

Garrett being suppliers:
'There is a report here from the Guildhall Banquet in 1837 mentioning the suppliers from page 37 onwards.
Unfortunately neither Davenport or Longport or Whitefriars or Powell seem to be mentioned:
