Barnaby Marriott Powell. A Large Mid Century Coloured Glass Vase

£450

This Whitefriars amber glass vase was designed by Barnaby Marriott Powell around 1938, model number 8473. The tall cylindrical form with ribbed surface and thick base captures the transitional spirit of British Modernist glass, merging craft precision with industrial refinement.

Powell’s work for Whitefriars explored proportion, texture, and optical light play, producing pieces that balanced decorative appeal with functional simplicity. The subtle amber tone and softly hammered texture exemplify the firm’s dedication to high-quality hand-blown glass and Powell’s refined sense of material control.
