A very very good friend spotted this rather lovely piece of decorated glass on sale at an arts shop in Shrewsbury. Thank you to her!
It’s been attributed to Edwin Cole, who was born in the town in 1860.
Cole is much better known for his watercolours, so this is a rare find. Which probably explains why it’s quite expensive …!
It’s difficult to tell if this was a commission from the municipality (for an office) or from a private patron (for their home). Does anyone know?
You’ll find it at Number Sixty One.
(PS if you too have spotted a loggerheads, please let us know!)
