Museum Reception and Dave Turner Collection
On entering the museum you will see examples of the
many different types and colours of glassware manufactured by Nazeing Glass Works
throughout the 1900's. For comparison, some European glass is shown, together with a
section on fakes, forgeries and friperies.
The Dave Turner Collection
The museum is currently home to the many pieces of
Nazeing Glass owned by Dave Turner, a glass collector with items of Nazeing glassware that
date back to before the second world war. These exhibits are at present on long term loan
to the museum. |

The museum is not solely devoted to Nazeing Glass
Works, showing the domestic output of the many different companies that produced glass in
Great Britain and Northern Ireland between 1900 and 2000. The designers, such as
Michael Harris, Geoffrey Baxtor and Frank Thrower, are featured in the Study Room. |
