About the Item

A beautiful English engraved Stevens & Williams red and white overlay cameo glass vase, hand carved, hand-engraved, and hand-etched by J. Millward, signed Stevens & Williams and J. Millward.

  • Magnificent Pair of Russian Imperial Ruby Glass Vases w/ Gilded Bronze Mounts
    Located in New York, NY

The Intense Ruby Red color of the Crystal is created by adding large quantities of gold to the molten glass before the object is created. The resulting color is dense yet full of light just like its namesake the precious jewel. The Dore bronze mounts use motifs taken from antiquity. Likewise, the shape of the handles is inspired by Greco-Roman amphora...
