Dimensions - 20.5cm high

Geoffrey Baxter (1922–1995) was a British glass designer best known for his innovative work with Whitefriars Glass, one of England’s oldest glassmakers. Baxter joined Whitefriars in 1954 after studying at the Royal College of Art where he developed a deep understanding of modern design principles. 

During his time at Whitefriars, Baxter introduced bold, textured designs that departed from traditional glassmaking techniques. His most famous work is the Textured Range (1967–1980), featuring distinctive patterns inspired by natural and industrial forms, such as tree bark, brickwork, and wire. These designs became iconic during the 1970s and remain highly sought after by collectors today. Baxter's creativity and fresh approach helped Whitefriars maintain its reputation as a leading innovator in glass design during the mid-20th century.
