Vintage 1930s Sea Green Glass Posy Bowl by William Wilson for Whitefriars No.8993

In the early to mid 20th Century the creation of decorative new designs in glass continued to challenge the imagination and skill of designers, glass blowers and moulders. The growing interest in the possibilities of pattern, texture and colour fused into the body of the glass itself in many of the decorative pieces produced at the time lead the way for future artisans. With virtually no change in the equipment used, variations on established techniques were under constant development and each year new forms emerged to make a contribution to the collective history of the art.

Scottish born William Wilson was primarily a designer of stained glass. During his career he produced over 300 windows, for churches, cathedrals and secular buildings all over Scotland.

This lovely little posy bowl was designed circa 1938 for Whitefriars, one of Britains most famous glassware producers.

In general good condition with no chips or cracks. Measures approximately 6cm tall, 21cm in diameter.
