Glasgow Museums has a collection of over 250 items of ceramics and glass made or designed by artist craftspeople and designers associated with the Glasgow Style. The objects date from the late 19th to the early 20th century. This collection includes approximately 90 pieces of hand-painted ceramic, 30 pieces of hand-painted glass, 20 pieces of transfer-printed ceramics, 20 pieces of stained and leaded glass and one glass mosaic panel. The hand-painted ceramics and glass in the collection were produced mainly by former pupils and teachers of the Glasgow School of Art technical studios, including Jessie Marion King, Ann Macbeth, Elizabeth Mary Watt and Helen Walton. The stained glass includes work by the companies of George Walton, John C Hall, Hugh McCulloch, William Meikle and James McPhie, and also by EA Taylor for Wylie and Lochhead. Associated with this collection are items of furniture with leaded glass, and also drawings for stained glass and for furniture containing leaded glass by individuals working in the Glasgow Style. The Glasgow Style was an art and design movement based in Glasgow from about 1890 to 1920. It achieved European recognition for its use of strong clean abstract forms, shapes and lines.
