Vintage textured Whitefriars Bark glasses, Geoffrey Baxter, England, 1960s Rare and highly decorative set of eight vintage bark-textured tumblers designed by Geoffrey Baxter for the renowned British glass manufacturer Whitefriars Glass, England. These glasses belong to the iconic “Bark” series, introduced during the 1960s and widely recognised as one of the most characteristic designs of British Mid-Century Modern glass. The distinctive surface structure imitates the texture of tree bark, creating a sculptural and organic appearance that beautifully reflects light. The tumblers are made from thick pressed coloured glass and display an attractive range of colours including red, amber, green, clear and smoke tones. This combination of colours gives the set a particularly striking visual presence. Designs by Geoffrey Baxter are highly collectible and represent an important chapter in 20th-century British glass design. Pieces from the Bark series are especially appreciated by collectors of Whitefriars glass and Mid-Century Modern decorative objects.
