Thomas Webb & Sons Cameo Scent Bottle
About the Item
Of all the glassworks produced in the late 19th century, cameo glass was the most challenging to perfect. Only a handful of artisans succeeded in mastering this intricate craft, with the firm of Thomas Webb & Sons standing out as the most accomplished. Webb’s cameo masterpieces surpassed those of their major French contemporaries in finesse and artistry, earning them a prestigious reputation in the world of fine glassmaking.
This intricately crafted scent bottle exemplifies Thomas Webb & Sons' unrivaled expertise. The slender red bottle is layered with soft white overlay that has been delicately hand-carved into beautiful bamboo shoots that wrap around the bottle. The silver-gilt mount and cover, marked Sampson Mordan & Co., London 1884, elegantly complement the overall design. This fine glass scent bottle would have held perfumes and essential oils within its intricately decorated body.
