Provenance
Leo Kaplan Collection
This shape was used at Thomas Webbs for both floral and Oriental decoration. Examples feature regularly in the cameo glass pattern books, see the facsimile published by Richard Dennis, illustrations on pp. 43, 45, 56, 57, 59 and 60. The gentle shading of the different surface layers before carving is a rarely-seen feature. Identical gold stippling can be seen on a Webbs vase exhibited by Tiffany & Co. at the Paris Exhibition in 1889, illustrated by Grover, cl. pl.C288
