1920's Davidson Blue Cloud Glass Pedestal Bowl Flower Frog Set
An exquisite Art Deco 1920's example of Blue cloud glass,
very rare to find all 3 elements together and in good condition.
Glass Flower frog size 5 with 19 holes.
Beautiful statement piece, stylish design and wonderful smoke effect within the glass.
Davidson and sons Ltd, made in England.
Cloud glass, a popular form of 1920s-1930s British pressed art glass, was invented by George Davidson & Co. in 1923 at Gateshead, England. Featuring mottled streaks that resemble clouds, this affordable, decorative glass was created by applying dark glass trails to lighter, translucent glass, making every piece unique.
Davidson introduced Blue Cloud in 1925. In the buyer's notes for November 1925, the Pottery Gazette wrote:
“The colour most recently introduced by G. Davidson & Co. is known as Blue Cloud. It follows the general lines of the Purple Cloud to which we called the attention of our readers on a previous visit to the firm's show rooms, and it is proving a very worthy contemporary. In flower bowls and vases it shows up to particularly good effect, and probably the treatment will be extended a little later on to goblets, candle sticks and other items, as in the case of earlier colours”
Brilliant condition, pedestal and bowl in great condition only slight age wear to the base of the bowl where the frog sits, Glass frog has minor nibbling to rim, please do refer to the images.
Width 34 x Height 17 cm
All items are sensitively and minimally cleaned
