| An item of ‘Bronze’ glass by Thomas Webb & Sons of Stourbridge, England, produced c1880. This example is an interesting gourd shape with four punched ‘dimples’ and is mounted with a silver plated neck band and stopper with an aesthetic style finial appropriate to period. The stopper is mounted with a cork than can and has been changed. All manner of practical items as well as purely decorative items were produced in ‘Bronze’ glass; and the form of this piece probably identifies it as a decanter of sorts; though Webb’s Bronze is now sought after purely for its decorative appeal. Webb bronze is produced on a green glass base and the iridescent effect is created by flashing oxides on the base glass towards the end of the production process. Dr Christopher Dresser produced designs for Webb and this piece has a distinctly ‘Dresser’ look and feel to it. Height: 8” to the top of the finial and approximately 4” square. In perfect condition with no damage or wear to either the glass or the mounts. | ||
