A pair of custard glass vases by Thomas Webb, hand gilded in the manner of Jules Barbe. Each vase features decorative gilded detailing including an image of a bird perched on a branch. The opaque custard glass body provides a soft contrast to the delicate gilt work.

Thomas Webb & Sons, established in 1837 in Stourbridge, England was renowned for producing high quality art glass, including hand gilded custard glass vases. Custard glass, characterised by its opaque, pale yellow appearance, was often enhanced with intricate gilded designs.

Custard glass is highly collectible, especially pieces with hand-painted floral patterns or gold gilding
