A Stevens and Williams 'rock crystal' style engraved comport, circa 1895-1900

Perhaps by John Orchard, the scalloped bowl finely carved with eight arcaded panels, four each with a pair of butterflies in flight above a spray of Lily of the Valley, alternating with panels of butterflies perched on foliate scrollwork, on an octagonal stem cut with flowerheads, the scalloped foot with band of stylised flowerheads underneath the footrim, 14.6cm high

Footnotes

John Orchard was the principal engraver of 'rock crystal' glass for Stevens and Williams, often using designs by Joseph Keller. The shape of the panels on this comport is similar to the 'Dragon' pattern, which relates to a Stevens and Williams bowl by John Orchard in Corning Museum of Glass (acc. no. 98.2.6).
