Title: Obit: Dr David C Watts
Post by: David E on January 26, 2017, 10:46:15 PM

Sadly I have just received notification that David C Watts died in December 2015. His son, Ben, will be forwarding the eulogy, which I will post here. I did search GMB, but no mention appears to have been made so I thought I'd rectify this.

If anyone would like to purchase David's book A History of Glassmaking in London 2nd Edition (much larger than the original), then I'm sure Ben will be pleased to supply a copy.

Thank you David, such sad news. He was always incredibly helpful with queries about London glassmakers. Another huge loss to the glass world.

I have decided to publish all the obituaries and the eulogy online, due to the amount of text:

Thank you David.

A fascinating man - and such a wonderful treasure trove of knowledge on glassmaking in London.
