Title: Stuart Akroyd and J S Akroyd (Lakeland Crystal)
Post by: Anne on October 02, 2022, 01:28:19 AM

Quick question, in case anyone knows for sure please: is Stuart Akroyd (who is based in Nottingham) the same glassmaker as JS Akroyd who signs their pieces as such with the addition of Lakeland Crystal, or are they 2 different glassmakers?

I've been looking at examples of pieces by Stuart Akroyd and to me they look totally different in style to those signed JS Akroyd, Lakeland Crystal.

Scratch the question, I've found a timeline of Stuart's work, which confirms he did work at Lakeland Crystal. https://www.woburnmosaic.co.uk/gallery/artists/stuart-akroyd/

This was the reason for the question: a vase I spotted in a local charity shop and couldn't place the name.
