Cameo Glass Perfume Bottle by Thomas Webb & Sons

About the Item

This rare cameo glass perfume bottle is the work of the inimitable British glassmakers Thomas Webb & Sons. Entirely handcrafted, the piece is a testament to Webb's mastery of this delicate art form. The intricately etched and carved cameo reveals rich shades of olive green throughout the tapered bottle. Crowned by a silver lid by Sampson Mordan, this perfume exhibits the incomparable technique and artistry perfected by the Webb glass company. Perhaps the most prominent among all of the highly-regarded glassmakers of Stourbridge, England, Webb was especially known for their incredible colored glass and cameo pieces such as this. Hallmarked London, 1883 with maker's mark "SM" for Sampson Mordan Measures: 11 1/4" length x 2" wide x 1 1/2" high.

A Fine Matched Pair of Late 19th Century Thomas Webb and Sons Cameo Crystal Art Vases The front panels with red and white etched scenes of birds and flowers. Thomas Webb & Sons was an English glass company, founded in 1837 by Thomas Webb (1804-1869) near Stourbridge, England. The name T. Webb & Co. was adopted in 1842, and later became Thomas Webb & Sons. Webb operated the Platts glasshouse from 1837 to 1856 and then the Dennis glassworks from 1855 to 1990. [1] The company, known originally as the “Crystal King of England,” was noted for the high quality of its Cameo glass. Cameo glass is created by a process of etching and carving through a layer of opaque white glass, leaving a white relief design on a darker colored glass body. Some pieces used two layers of etched glass to create a three-color Cameo glass product. In the 1870s John Northwood produced the first pieces, inspired by the Portland Vase. George Woodall would produce the most distinguished Webb Cameo...
