Clutha vase, c. 1885, Christopher Dresser; Manufacturer: James Couper and Sons, Scottish, 1834-1904, 20 1/4 x 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 in. (51.44 x 14.29 x 14.29 cm) (at neck), Blown glass, England, 19th century, The first modern industrial designer, Christopher Dresser worked with a number of different British manufacturers of furniture, metalwork, wallpaper, ceramics and glass to create well-designed yet mass produced objects. For the Scottish company James Couper and Sons he designed a line of hand-blown glass produced with industrial techniques. The line was called Clutha, meaning 'cloudy' in Gaelic, by the London retailer Libertys. These deliberately bubbly and streaked glass vases and bottles were produced in a range of tertiary colors suitable to the mid and late nineteenth century British interior: greeny yellow, amber, lilac and turquoise. Metallic streaks were added to the glass to create jewel-like qualities imitative of Roman and Venetian glass.
