George Luke is first admitted as a Freeman of the Hammermen of Glasgow 14th September 1680. He is recorded taking one apprentice, William Hodgert in 1684 by whom only a single quaich now within the Burrell Collection (43.103) is known to survive.
Why work by George Luke should be so rare compared to his contemporary makers and indeed family is unclear. It is tempting to think he worked under / closely with John Luke in his likely large workshop but this cannot be proven.
