About the Item

A carafe of pleasing shape & proportions, with elaborate wheel-cut decoration of thistles and thorns. Possibly intended for whisky - or at least the water to be added to it; but it could also be of Scottish Nationalist symbolism. Stourbridge glass refers to glassware produced in the town of Stourbridge, located in the West Midlands region of England. Stourbridge has a long and rich history in glassmaking, dating back to the 17th century. The town became a significant center for the glass industry during the 18th and 19th centuries, gaining international recognition for the quality and craftsmanship of its glass products. The heyday of Stourbridge glassmaking was in the 19th century, though the tradition continues to some extent today. Collectors and enthusiasts value Stourbridge glass for its historical significance, craftsmanship, and artistic merit. Pieces of Stourbridge glass can be found in museums, private collections, and antique markets, showcasing the enduring legacy of this English glassmaking tradition.
