Title: John Walsh Walsh flower holder RD no. 271422, 21 February 1896.
Post by: agincourt17 on March 20, 2014, 04:56:16 PM

John Walsh Walsh glass flower holder in the shape of stylised lily; just under 12 inches tall. The opalescent flower trumpet sits atop a fluted and twisted citron stem. Registered design number 271422 to the base; design registered 21 February 1896. 

(Permission for the re-use of these images on the GMB granted by Anne Polet).

Mervyn Gulliver shows the design representation with the lily stem more-or-less straight and flanked by a pair of leaves (p280, “Victorian Decorative Glass 1850-1914”).

The design is not mentioned or shown in Eric Reynolds’ “The Glass of John Walsh Walsh 1850-195”.

The photos will be added to the GMB RD database gallery shortly.

This is the first time I have seen an example of this particular registered design – does anyone have photos of variant examples (perhaps with leaves, different stem shape etc.) to show, please?

Fred.

Have a Walsh flower holder with brass stem if you'd like to see it? ;D
