It is hoped that this format will prove to be user-friendly. We have kept some designs from last year with a few changes. We believe this adds a heightened elegance to each piece and therefore ultimately more collectable. Richard's technical wizardry has enabled the re-introduction of a yet even more stunning 'gold aurene'. This magical glass that both Frederick Carder and Louis Comfort Tiffany perfected in their time remains elusive to the majority of present day glassmakers.
Many industries are renowned for keeping secrets and the glass industry is no exception.
Okra's new ranges were officially launched at the NEC in early February. We were particularly delighted to welcome back many of our older accounts and to hear first hand their very positive views of the glass we were showing. As a consequence the Okra Glass Guild continues to grow steadily with an average of 20 new collectors a month. Enclosed you will also find a leaflet describing the current facilities at The Ruskin Glass Centre. Impending arrivals include the glass restorers who will relocate from the Red House Cone at Stuarts Crystal in the next few weeks.
