The following 15 lots of Waterford 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 82). 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.

These decanters are illustrated as plate 115, Irish Glass, Phelps Warren. * Provenance: The Penrose family thence by descent.

The Penrose Irish shell cabinet, Circa 1800, made by Elizabeth Penrose (born 1779) - A fantasy grotto:, lined with sea shells collected from the beaches around Tramore and along the tidal reaches of the River Suir and fashioned into intricate patterns forming a cobbled arcaded terrace populated with glass animals and swans from the Waterford Glass Factory, surmounted by an intricate bouquet of flowers and foliage, having bevelled mirror canted angles and panelled sides, contained within a glazed mahogany cabinet with a moulded dentil cornice and standing on a mahogany side cabinet with two short drawers and with a pair of enclosing doors below, the glazed cabinet measuring 95cm (3ft 1 /12in) wide x 114cm (3ft 9in) high, the mahogany cabinet 109cm (3ft 7in) wide. *Notes - Elizabeth Penrose (born 1779) was an accomplished needlewoman and around 1799 started work on an ambitious project to create a fantasy grotto - the petals of each of the flowers are made from individual shells, many hand tinted with watercolour. Family tradition has it that it took several years to construct. The mirrors were made for Elizabeth Penrose in the Waterford Glass Works, by then owned by Jonathan Gatchell. The cabinet is by direct family descent.
