Footnotes

In his book British Glass 1800-1914 (1991), Charles Hajdamach discusses on page 286 the difficult process of making 'Silveria' glass, and he compares the finished effect with Claude Monet's water-lily paintings. John Northwood II was mostly responsible for the perfection of the technique at Stevens and Williams and while it is highly-regarded today as among the most 'Art Nouveau' of all British glass, Silveria was made for only a very short period.
