The following fifteen lots of Waterford and Irish glass come by direct descent from the Penrose family. George and his nephew William Penrose, both prominent Quakers and astute businessmen, established the Waterford Glass House in 1783 to take advantage of the dropping of the glass levy, on Irish glass, by the English Parliament. This excise duty which was charged on the weight of the materials used to make the glass remained on English glass, but in order to protect domestic concerns the export of Irish glass to England, not withstanding smuggling, was forbidden. The Penroses ran the Waterford Glass House, initially with John Hill and then latterly with Jonathon Gatchell. George Penrose died in 1796 and Gatchell with partners bought out William Penrose’s interest in 1799. The Waterford Glass House continued under several Gatchell partnerships until it closed in 1851, shortly after exhibiting a suite of banqueting crystal at the Great Exhibition, due to the crushing burden of taxation. William’s daughter Elizabeth Penrose married Anthony Robinson in 1805 at the Friends Meeting House and their daughter Susanna Penrose Robinson who was born in 1816 married Joseph William MacMullen in 1850. Although Susanna had ten siblings, she seems to have outlived many of them (most of whom seem not to have had issue of their own) and as a result inherited most of the Penrose and Robinson artifacts including a shell cabinet made by her mother Elizabeth (see lot 914). In turn Joseph and Susanna’s son Alfred Robinson MacMullen inherited the collection passing it to his son Alfred Grahame MacMullen (1891-1966) who married Priscilla Carter of Budleigh Salterton. On his death she remarried becoming Priscilla Hull, gifting the collection to her sons in 1993. Many of the following lots are illustrated in Irish Glass, Waterford, Cork, Belfast in the Age of Exhuberance by Phelps Warren.

Frederick Alfred Rhead [1856-1933] was to follow the family tradition of potting but combined it with that of artist and designer. At the age of thirteen he joined Mintons as an apprentice painter and a year later was assigned as an apprentice to Louis Solon, the leading exponent of the

difficult and skillful technique of pate-sur-pate. Frederick worked for Solon until 1877 and the following year joined the Wedgwood factory. He also worked as a freelance for firms such as Pinder, Bourne and as art director for James Gildea, Brownfield’s and Wileman & Co. In 1912 he joined Wood & Sons and then in 1929 Cauldon Potteries which at that time was a conglomerate including Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester and Ridgways. Five of Frederick’s six children were involved in the pottery business, Frederick Hurten Rhead [1880-1942] and Charlotte [Lottie] Rhead [1885-1947] are probably the best known. Frederick Hurten worked for most of his life in the United States for firms including Tiltonville, Wheeling, The Weller Pottery, Roseville, his own firm Rhead Pottery and the Homer Laughlin China Company. Charlotte Rhead [1885-1947] started her career at Wardle & Co. in Hanley and it was here that she developed her skills as a tubeliner. She subsequently worked for Keeling & Co.,

T&R Boote and with her father at Wood and Sons. She is probably best known for her work at Burgess & Leigh [Burleigh Pottery] and A.G.Richardson [Crown Ducal].
