Whitefriars Geoffrey Baxter Textured Glass Vase
This is a striking clear glass vase designed by Geoffrey Baxter for Whitefriars. The vase features a distinctive ‘bark’ texture, achieved through Baxter’s innovative use of controlled fracturing during the glassblowing process. This particular design, often referred to as a ‘coffin’ vase due to its shape, is a highly sought-after example of mid-century modern British glass design, dating from the 1960s. The textured surface creates a beautiful play of light and shadow, making it a captivating decorative object.
