Harold Stabler

Harold Stabler FRSA (10 June 1872 – 11 April 1945) was a designer and craftsman in silver, enamels, pottery, glass and other materials.

He was educated at Heversham Grammar School, and was then apprenticed to a wood-carver in Kendal for seven years, after which he went to the art department of Liverpool University.

His designs included a silver and enamel mace for Westminster Cathedral, the ceremonial collar of the Royal Victorian Order, and works for the Goldsmiths' Company.

According to an obituarist, "In pottery, glass, and silver he designed for mass production by partly mechanical means with conspicuous success".

[1][4][n 1] His obituarist in the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts regarded Stabler as a considerable influence on London Transport's chief executive, Frank Pick.
