Drunken Bricklayer
8” high
An Iconic Architectural Statement in Kingfisher Blue
Own a masterpiece of 20th-century British design. This Whitefriars Drunken Bricklayer vase, designed by the legendary Geoffrey Baxter in 1966, is a cornerstone of the celebrated Textured Range. Its bold, “Brutalist” silhouette—resembling stacked, swaying bricks—is a radical departure from traditional glassware, making it one of the most recognizable and sought-after shapes in the world of vintage art glass.
This specific example is finished in the vibrant, highly collectible Kingfisher Blue. When caught by the light, the deeply moulded surface creates a stunning play of shadows and brilliance, highlighting the unique “bark” and “nail” textures Baxter achieved by using everyday materials in his casting moulds.
