| biography:
| Designer and writer, born in Glasgow, W Scotland, UK. His first area of study was botany, from which he developed the stylized plant motifs which became the basis for his interest in decorative design. He designed glass, ceramics, and cast-iron furniture for a number of manufacturers, but his outstanding works were well-researched items of functional metalwork such as teapots and soup tureens. |
