'shadows' - glasses for the dining table

These were on display in The Red House when we visited and the design is by Philip Webb, who was also the architect for William Morris's house.

Morris had the reputation for being a generous and genial host who enjoyed his food with a particular love for French food and wine. Georgiana, the wife of Morris's friend Burne-Jones, recalled: 'It was the most beautiful sight in the world to see Morris coming up from the cellar before dinner, beaming with joy, with his hands full of bottles of wine and others tucked under his arms.'

Morris believed that good design and the good life were inseparable.

I think I shall put William Morris on the list of poeple I should like to meet from history which already has Vivaldi and van Gogh on it - not that it will profit me in any way!!

Great capture of those shadows. Interesting narrative.

The rims of those glasses & the reflection is lovely Hazel...Philip Webb would be impressed with your artistry!!
I do like a good glass with nice feel!

I do agree, you've captured this beautifully, and there's a lovely reflection - either that or some "ghost glasses" hiding behind!

A great pic. of glass and shadows. Thanks for the info of the glasses.
I`ve search for one on my glasses out of my collection for more than 10 years to find the factory and designer. Thanks to a 365 frien I`ve found it
