Vintage 1960s Tangerine Bark Vase by Geoffrey Baxter for Whitefriars

In the 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.

Geoffrey Baxter joined the already famous and well established Whitefriars company in 1954 and launched his very successful textured glass range in 1967, which included the Bark vases, the Banjo vase, and possibly the most famous of all the Drunken Bricklayer vase.

The tangerine colour seen here was added to the collection in 1968, extremely typical of its era and just as bright and beautiful today as the day it was made.

In general good condition with no chips or cracks. Measures approximately 19cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
