Did you know that Omar Ramsden is referred to as "quite possibly the best designer of silver working in the first half of the 20th century" in the outstanding catalog to the travelling Ramsden exhibition of 1992-4  "English Silver: Masterpieces by Omar Ramsden" from the Campbell Collection.

The partnership of Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr, which lasted 1898 - 1918, produced some of the finest silver in the Arts and Crafts style. After their separation in 1918, each continued to work independently until their respective deaths in 1939 and 1940. (http://www.rom.on.ca/art-design/silver/mustardpot1.html)
