Probably made as an experimental piece in the 1950s, this underwater scene is an effective use of flashed glass and acid-etching. The small panel is plated in two layers of glass, which adds depth. It was likely made by one of Moria Forsyth's assistants at the purpose-built co-operative stained glass studio known as The Glass House, Fulham and is thought to have formed part of the door to her studio. It was removed upon the closure of the studio in the 1990s.
