A wonderful 1890's Victorian Stourbridge glass vase. Made in pink + creamy yellow burmese glass by the British firm Thomas Webb & Sons. Has a marking acid etched to the base which is most likely the pattern number, but this is quite difficult to make out (see picture).
Vases and other items in this style and pattern are shown in the Thomas Webb section of the book Mt Washington Art Glass plus Webb burmese. Small amounts of uranium in the glass cause it to glow bright green in UV light.
Although this vase is obviously too small to hold a bunch of flowers, it is still classed as a vase. Small vases like this were often used to hold flowerheads, or miniature "sweetpea" flowers, or simply used as decorative ornaments.
Height 7 cm x Width 10 cm
Brilliant mint condition, I would say that his vase in particular has a very delicate quality, more than other Thomas Webb glass I've had before, simply beautiful.
All items are sensitively and minimally cleaned
Any questions please don't hesitate to drop me a message. I am very happy to pass on any additional information, or images you may need, if you are interested in more than one item I can arrange a combined postage price. Many thanks.

Please be aware that you are purchasing a vintage item. We mention any obvious defects to the glass such as chips, cracks, etc. in our description but there may also be minor manufacturing faults eg. marks from the mould, straw marks and air bubbles, which is normal for glass of this era.
