The Londonderry glass table-service, ordered by the third Marquess of Londonderry from the Wear Glass Works of White Young and Tuer, Depford, Sunderland, currently comprising some one hundred and fifty-eight pieces now in the Sunderland Museum and Art Gallery, is contemporary with the rebuilding of Wynward Hall, Cleveland, where it remained until 1986. The Newcastle Courant of 6 November 1824 records the Marquess and Marchioness visiting the glass works of White, Young and Tuer to see the service being made, at a cost of nearly 2,000 guineas, and expressing the 'highest approbation'. For other pieces from the service see 'National Art-Collections Fund', Review, 1987, p. 167, no. 3288 and J. Baker, Glassmaking on Wearside, pp. 10-12
