Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, an Arts and Crafts straw opal glass vase, circa 1880, in the Venetian style, the crimped ogee conical body with opalescent bands, on a blade knopped and quatrelobed hollow stem and conical radial ribbed foot, 21.5cm highNote: see Evans, W. et al. 1995, Whitefriars Glass, Museum of London, pp.50-61, for similar examples of this vase
Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, a set of six Arts and Crafts liqueur glasses, circa 1878, the slightly tapered bucket bowl on plain stem and conical foot, 8.5cm high (6)Note: examples of this service along with glass by T G Jackson, are illustrated in Mrs Loftie's Dining Room, 1878, as examples of good contemporary glass; reproduced in Jackson, L, 1996, Whitefriars Glass, p.28, fig.71
Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, an Arts and Crafts Siam variation glass claret jug, circa 1900, footed amphora form with single loop handle and bladed knop, cut with a band of scrolling tendrils and stylised lotus or water lily flowers, alternating between three and five petals, the stopper of hollow bisected twisted form, 37cm highNote: designed in the Venetian style for the service of the Prince of Siam, who commissioned Powell on his visit to London in 1897 for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the elegant form was popular both plain and cut. The cut design on this example is exceptionally unusual, drawing upon Harry Powell's interest in the historical revival, including Mannerist or English Renaissance motifs, as well as the culturally significant lotus flower motif. This could be an early prototype or experimental design, different from the more common engraved Art Nouveau inspired motif which appears on the examples produced for the service; see Evans, W et al. 1995, Whitefriars Glass, London: Museum of London, p.81, fig.82 for an illustrated example of the Water Lily or Lotus design on this form of decanter
Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, an Arts and Crafts wine glass, circa 1900, the rounded bowl cut with a band of intersecting stylised floral vine and geometric foliate chevrons, on a short plain stem and conical foot, 9.5cm highNote: the cutting style is almost identical in execution to that on the Lotus decanter by Powell in this auction, unusual for the Whitefriars firm, but exemplifying their innovative outlook and willingness to experiment in cut designs and techniques, to adapt to the growing trend for Continental Art Nouveau design, whilst maintaining the simplicity and elegance for which James Powell and Sons became renowned.
Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, an Arts and Crafts blue opal glass and wrought basket, circa 1880, the crimped bowl with optic diamond moulded diaper pattern in blue opalescence, on a blade knop, mounted in a four footed holder of square section scrolled brackets, bisected top handle, 21cm highNote: the trend for combining opal glass with wrought iron became prevelant from 1879, with bowls, jugs and light fittings being favoured products. See Jackson, L, 1996, Whiterfriars Glass, Richard Dennis, p.101 pl.21 for similar illustrated examples
Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, an Arts and Crafts air twist wine or Champagne glass, circa 1890, the bell shaped bowl with trapped air line decoration, on a tapered stem of three helix strands, on a radial ribbed conical foot, 16cm highNote: from the 1880s Harry Powell experimented with trapped air techniques, in the 18th century manner, re interpreting the traditional methods in a new and innovative way to create contemporary designs. This appears to be a very rare example of the use of these techniques. See Evans, W. et al. 1995, Whitefriars Glass, Museum of London, p.79, pl.78 for illustrated examples of this stem and bowl pattern on different glasses from the same series.
