This jar and cover is in the style of a late 17th or early 18th century jar and cover, but the decorastion on the lower part are trailed, instead of being formed by applying a second gather of glass, blowing this into a mould to produce ribs, and then pincering pairs of them to form roughly diamond-shaped compartments, as would have been done then. It may have been produced by Mrs Graydon Stannus who set up a glassmaking studio in 1922, having previously been a dealer in antique glass. In 1926 she had a glasshouse in Battersea with a small staff of glassmakers making hand-made glass in antique and modern styles.
