Product Description

Glasgow invented tea rooms and they became a distinctive and much-loved feature of its social and business life. The legendary Miss Cranston brought them international fame through her penchant for the avant garde 'Glasgow Style': Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed for her with dazzling inventiveness over two decades.
The book sets the Mackintosh tea rooms in their distinctive urban context, exploring changing social habits over a century. Packed with fascinating detail, Tea and Taste will stir nostalgic memories for those who still remember Glasgow's very special tea rooms.
