Footnote
Note: Gertrude Jekyll, the renowned garden designer, designed and commissioned 'Munstead Flower Glasses' when she failed to find vases to suit her needs. The range was named after her cottage 'Munstead Wood' near Godalming in Surrey, designed by her famous collaborator Sir Edwin Lutyens circa 1896. Extra-large examples, like the current lot, are scarce.
