London Glassblowing

An exciting opportunity to capture a rare and unique piece of artwork from Peter Layton’s archive and from our resident & guest artists!

Our celebrated Silent Auction returns for another year. For the first time since the pandemic, the Silent Auction Lots will be on display in our gallery as well as online.  As in previous years, customers will be able to see the work in the gallery and place their bids in person. 

A unique selection of work by Peter Layton has been made in celebration of his 85th birthday this year and our resident and selected guest artists will also have work available to bid on.  Everything is available from the reserve price which is a discounted starting bid.   Original gallery prices will also be visible for reference. Peter’s artworks have been carefully chosen from his ‘Highlight’ archive and each piece has an enchanting story to tell; they may be interesting pieces made during the development of a series, a beautiful accident or a piece that has turned out quite differently to the rest of the series – this makes them all unique and special.   Expect rare, quirky and unusual..

Our Silent Auction is a chance to collect a truly unique treasure – your very own piece of British glassmaking history.
