Label TextJames Powell & Sons had produced glasses with a “triple-stem” design since the 1890s, exclusively for specific orders by clients that ranged from Louis Comfort Tiffany to the Prince of Wales. This triple-stem design by Harry Powell shows the influence of Venetian Renaissance glassware (see Gallery 4).Published ReferencesSotheby's, John Jesse - The Pursuit of Style, London, February 22, 2006, lot 36.
