About MeOne of the most attractive aspects of Monart glass is the restrained shapes chosen by Isobel Moncrieff and Salvador Ysart, combined with complex colour schemes. Many of the shapes bear a close resemblance to Art Pottery produced at the same time, such as Moorcroft, and Chinese forms.
More About Me
Have you seen weeping glass before? The vase feels wet. Its chemical composition is disintegrating; and it cannot be stopped. We’re slowing the process by lowering the humidity and cleaning regularly.
