An array of 20th Century Design is coming up for sale at Tennants 14th June, and amongst the over 250 lots is a colourful and vibrant collection of glass by contemporary glass-maker Ruth Dresman. Being sold from a Private Collection of Glass and Studio Pottery, each piece of Dresman’s glass is engraved using a unique sandblasting method.

Amongst a wide range of furniture and furnishings by Yorkshire icon Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson and his workshop is an impressive English Oak 7ft Refectory Table, made in 1932 for the University of Aberdeen, and there is also a good variety of furniture by the other Yorkshire Critter carvers, with pieces by the likes of Squirrelman, Wrenman, Beaverman and Gnomeman.

Modern design furniture in the sale includes pieces by Charles and Ray Eames and Merrow Associates, and there is a good private collection of pots by Poh Chap Yeap, one of the leading potters working in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s.
