## Commentary

KNOX, Archibald \(b. 1864, Cronkbourne, Isle of Man, d. 1933, Douglas, Isle of Man\) Tobacco canister c. 1902 Tin Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt In 1902, Knox designed some of the famous &#34;Tudric&#34; pewter series for Liberty &amp; Co. in London. Tudric was a range of pewterware sold by the London Art Nouveau store of Liberty &amp; Co. The Celtic name was chosen as a tribute to the Welsh ancestors of John Llewellyn, a director of Liberty. The Tudric series is very similar to the Jugendstil pewterware made in Germany. This tobacco canister is from the Tudric series.
