George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.

Benjamin Richardson, (born 1802, Stourbridge, Worcestershire, Eng.—died 1887), founder of one of the great English glass-manufacturing houses, who was instrumental in the introduction of modern glass-working methods to England. Richardson’s Stourbridge factory was the first in the country to have a threading machine for making filigree glass and the first to make mass-produced pressed glass tumblers. The factory pioneered in the use of pressing machines for decorating flint glass with relief ornaments. His firm also became one of the leaders in producing cameo glass for commercial sale.

Richardson became a public figure when he offered £1,000 to anyone who could produce a replica of the British Museum’s famous Portland Vase. The blue-and-white Roman vase was considered one of the most beautiful pieces of glassware ever made and the finest surviving example of Roman cameo glass. The first successful replica of the vase was completed in 1876 by a former employee of Richardson’s, a local glassmaker named John Northwood (q.v.), but it was not made for Richardson. Northwood’s piece had been commissioned in 1873 by Philip Pargeter, himself a glass manufacturer and a nephew of Richardson. Richardson is also remembered for his efforts to reduce the cost of manufacturing quality glassware, thus rendering it accessible to the general public.

The Richardson family have a complex history. B. Richardson began at Hawkes & Co. but left & joined up with W.H. Richardson taking over Wordsley Flint Glassworks (fnd 1720). Later W.H. & B. Richardson joined with Thomas Webb I (1804-69) to become Webb & Richardson. The partnership was dissolved in 1836, Webb left selling his interest in the White House Glassworks. The Wordsley works became W.H. , B. & J. Richardson. The works closed in 1852 despite success in the Great Exhibition, due to financial difficulties but reopened within a couple of years by Benjamin Richardson. He formed other partnerships; Hodgetts, Richardson & Pargetter (1836-69) Hodgetts, Richardson & Sons (1871-82) In 1887 his concerns were taken over by Benjamin Richardsons grandsons becoming H.G. Richardson & Sons. It was acquired by Thomas Webb & Sons in 1930 & the firm was operated from the Denis glassworks which finally closed in the late 1960's. The Richardson label was used until the 1970's. Benjamin Richardsons energy & experimentation combined to the partnerships he formed led to the rebirth of English glass. This has earned him the title of 'Father of the Glass trade'. The Richardsons had extensive influence, W.H. Richardson II manged the James Couper Glassworks.
