Stunning piece of Gray-stan glass in good antique condition Graystan and Gray-stan glass was made at the London (UK) studio of Mrs Elizabeth Graydon-Stannus between 1922 and 1936. It is usually clearly marked. She wrote a book “Old Irish Glass” in 1920, became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and in 1922 set up her glassmaking studio initially specialising in what she termed “New Irish glass”. Her book was criticised for inaccuracies about Irish glass, and she was also criticised for reproducing old glass. Even in recent times Charles Hajdamach wrote (1987) that she “confused collectors by making deliberate fakes or’enhancing’ original glasses with new cutting or engraving”. This may be unfair, as she was at pains to point out that her glass used traditional Irish recipes and designs, but modern “Irish” creativity. And so far as we know, it was always marked, either with the studio name or the name of the glass artist. Old Irish recipes and designs were only the start of the Graystan production. In 1925 Elizabeth Graydon-Stannus moved her glass studio to Battersea and widened the range of glass made. This studio made coloured art glass in keeping with current fashions for glass design coming from France. She started with around 12 glassworkers making hand-blown pieces to their own designs, and soon grew to a staff of 37. Her policy of encouraging employees to design their own pieces resulted in a very broad range of styles in both crystal and coloured glass. Some of their pieces resembled Monart glass, some resembled historical Venetian designs, and there was the continuation of cut and engraved crystal glass. Noel Billinghurst, her chief designer, signed his pieces (mostly engraved crystal) with his own name.

Stunning Lynden Over Lava Glass Masterwork Vase 15 Ebb & Flow Studio Art Glass A breathtaking, monumental studio art glass masterwork vase fully attributed to award-winning artist Lynden Over, handcrafted at the world-renowned Lava Glass Studio in Taupo, New Zealand. This piece features the highly collectible “Ebb & Flow” pattern. The design beautifully captures the organic ribbons, rivulets, and fluid lines left behind on coastal sandbanks by a retreating ocean tide. The opaque white layers woven into the vibrant blue waves serve as an artistic homage to New Zealand’s traditional Maori name, Aotearoa (“The Land of the Long White Cloud”). Artist: Lynden Over (Co-founder of Lava Glass Studio) Pattern / Collection: Ebb & Flow (Volcanic/Geological Large Vessel Series) Height: 15 inches (38 cm) Net Weight (Vase Only): Insert Weight, e. 6 lbs 4 oz / 2.8 kg Origin: Made in New Zealand Maker’s Mark & Authenticity: This piece is unsigned (common for studio art glass where the original paper or foil gallery label has been removed over time). However, it is fully and confidently attributed to Lynden Over. The unique “Ebb & Flow” trailing pattern, cased white cloud layering, thick-walled proportions, and cleanly ground base completely match verified gallery records for this iconic New Zealand series. Production & Craftsmanship: Vessels of this grand 15-inch scale are rarely made due to the immense physical skill required to handle such heavy, thick-walled molten crystal. Lynden Over uses a signature multi-layered trailing technique that guarantees a completely unique, three-dimensional depth. The heavy base carries the weighted presence expected of a true museum-tier studio masterwork. No two pieces are identical. It’s in Excellent vintage/pre-owned condition. Displays beautifully with brilliant color clarity. No chips, cracks, or interior mineral clouding. The polished base shows expected light shelf wear consistent with age and authenticity. Please view all the pictures because they form an important part of the description.
