This panel may have been used as a sampler to demonstrate typography, or letter writing. The Latin text 'GLORIA PATRI ET FILIO ET SPIRITVI SANCTO', translates as 'Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit' and is part of the Gloria Patri, a Christian hymn of praise. The panel is made of streaky slab glass, which has been painted with cross-hatching. Moira Forsyth (1905–1991) began her career in the pottery industry, learning her skills at the Burslem Potteries School of Art where her father was the principal. She was asked to exhibit her ceramic figures at the White City Exhibition of 1925 and orders flooded in from all over the world. After winning a National Scholarship to the Royal College of Art Forsyth switched from ceramics to glass and worked for many years at the celebrated Glass House in Fulham.
