Stevens & Williams Victorian Cranberry and Uranium Glass Bowl, England 1890

About the Item

A late Victorian cranberry and uranium glass bowl, crafted by Stevens & Williams, Stourbridge, England, circa 1890. This decorative bowl exemplifies Stevens & Williams' mastery of Victorian-era glassmaking, particularly through their innovative use of cranberry glass—a distinctive pink-hued glass, created with the infusion of gold salts during the firing process. The pink exterior is intricately adorned with hand-applied white spun glass, forming a delicate, web-like texture reminiscent of angel hair or spun sugar, elegantly wrapping around the body. The bowl is finished with a frilled border of uranium glass, accentuating the waist and lip with a striking, vibrant contrast. The true secret of this piece lies in its use of uranium glass, a material highly favoured by Stevens & Williams and immensely popular during the Victorian period. When exposed to UV light, the frilled uranium glass emits a radiant, neon-like glow, transforming the bowl into a dazzling display that accentuates its shape and form. The contrast between the warm cranberry pink and the glowing uranium borders beautifully showcases the innovative craftsmanship and decorative sophistication for which the Stourbridge company became renowned. Originally used as a serving dish—likely for preserves, sugar, or bonbons—this antique glass bowl now serves as a striking decorative piece to display and admire. In very good condition for its age and use.
