King George Augustus Frederick IV
(British, 1762-1830) - 1807
In 1806 the George, Prince of Wales (future George IV, reg. 1820-1830) visited the English city of Liverpool. In gratitude, the Council ordered a huge set of table glass for him from the local manufacturer Perrin, Geddes & Co. of Warrington. The set took over a year to make, and probably involved the work of a number of craftsmen.
