Description
An English Intaglio-Cut Overly Cased Green Glass Claret Jug with American Silver Mounts, the Glass Joshua Hodgetts for Stevens and Williams, Stourbridge, Circa 1897
the flattened ovoid body with green overlay over clear, intaglio cut with gadroons with laurel sprays, beaded borders, and vigorous acanthus scrolls, the front with spray of flowers within laurel wreath, plain silver neck mount and stopper, marked Sterling on neck and stopper, stopper with traces of a stamped maker
Height 9 1/4 in.
23.5 cm
Francis Raeymaekers notes, "the silver mount to the neck and stopper are marked "sterling" and were almost certainly applied on in the United States where Steven and Williams exported from England to a select number of manufacturers and retailers such as Tiffany and Gorham. Stevens and Williams were one of the leading glass manufacturers in England towards the end of the 19th Century and Joshua Hodgetts one of their engravers. His work is recognizable by his distinctive floral engraving."
