Sterling and Crystal Compote

About the Item

Based in Corning, NY, T.G. Hawkes & Co. (circa 1880-1959) was established by Thomas Gibbons Hawkes (1846-1913). Born in Ireland, Hawkes immigrated to Brooklyn in 1862, then moved to Corning, opening his own cut glass firm in 1880. His firm, T.G. Hawkes & Co., soon became famous for quality wares. Hawkes' glassware was used in the White House from 1885 until 1938. Hawkes pieces can be found in museums world-wide. This piece is very old and unique. It has chrysanthemum and poppies acid-etched and cut-glass motifs. It is prettier empty than it is filled!! A throwback to a time when objet d’art was actively sought after and collected. Here’s a piece from a glorious time.
