Dr. Christopher Dresser (British 1834-1904) for James Couper & Sons, Glasgow

Circa 1890, the clear body with trailed blue and bubble inclusions, acid etched mark "Clutha" to base, trace of further mark "Designed by C.D.", also bearing Liberty & Co. lotus flower trademark.

"Clutha" is the old Gaelic name for Glasgow's principle river, the Clyde; this series of glassware was designed by Dresser as a new venture for the Couper firm primarily known for their scientific glass production. Dresser took inspiration from Roman glass when designing this range and it was retailed exclusively by Liberty's in London, hence their trademark to the base.
