Claret Jug with Etched Decoration, Attribute to Richardsons, Stourbridge, c 1880

About the Item

A 19th century Stourbridge claret jug, probably by Richardsons, of footed moon-flask form with slender neck, rope twist handle and hollow blown stopper, acid etched with cartouche panels of flowers and foliage. Richardsons of Stourbridge was a glass manufacturer located in Stourbridge, England, that produced high-quality glassware from the Mid-19th Century to the early 20th century. The company was founded by Thomas Richardson in 1842, and it quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the finest glassware in England. Richardsons of Stourbridge continued to produce high-quality glassware until the early 20th century, when changing tastes and economic conditions led to a decline in demand for their products. The company eventually went out of business in the 1930s. Today, the glassware produced by Richardsons of Stourbridge is highly prized by collectors and museums around the world. Many of the surviving pieces are held in the collections of museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.
