The wine goblet measures approximately 8 3/4" tall and is 3 1/4" wide at the rim of the glass. The base of the glass measures approximately 3 1/4" wide. The Wine Goblet depicts a beautiful pulled feather decoration on a white or calcite looking background. The pulled feather decor starts at the base of the stem and rises all the way up to the cup and gives the illusion of leaves cradling the goblet. The colors of the feathering has an organic appeal with hues of brown and green accented with gold and blue Aurene highlights over the decoration. The base if the giblet is also a gold Aurene.The foot of the Goblet has a polished and ground pontil along with some of the underside edge of the foot. This was done for the goblet to sit evenly.

The Scarab has a metallic look, yet it is glass. The Base color of the Glass is a very deep cobalt blue. Tiffany Studio's produced smaller versions to decorate their large Floral Leaded Glass Shades. Tiffany also used a version similar to this in some of his Table Lamps and Shades. Instead of being a solid piece of glass the inside was hollow as to allow for a socket to house a bulb to illuminate it. True Glass was first developed by the ancient Egyptians to imitate the semi-precious stones used extensively in their artwork. It was often cast in shapes such as the Scarab for use as Amulets and Good Luck Charms. The Egyptians associated the Scarab Beetle with the creator god Khepri, the symbol of Birth and Eternal Life. This Art Glass Scarab is an example of the original Egyptian Scarabs. The piece has minimal wear to the bottom and is considered Excellent to Mint condition.

This Vase was made during the Victorian Era circa 1878-1885. Here is a little bit of history about Thomas Webb's Bronze Ware Vessels. Bronze glass. This is an iridescent glass made by Webb. It was exhibited in Paris in 1878, and there was a dispute with Richardsons on the iridescent patent. Richardson continued making it's own iridescent glass, despite saying that it would stop. Webbs bronze was referred to as Green Bronze in their pattern books, so it has been suggested that the body of the glass is green. Sometimes the vases had applied handles, snakes and lizards, lion masks, trails, plus etched decoration, hieroglyphics and gilding.   « Less
