Key
Features of this Piece:
- Origin
& Period: Produced by the British firm Thomas Webb & Sons, likely
in the late 19th century (Victorian era, circa 1880s).
- Decoration:
The hand-painted Raised floral design is attributed to the studio of Jules
Barbe, a renowned French decorator who worked for Webb. It features flat
enamels with raised paste details for texture.
- Material:
Authentic Burmese glass contains small amounts of uranium, which causes it
to glow bright green under a UV (blacklight).
- Finish:
This example appears to have a satin (matte) finish, which was achieved by
dipping the glass in acid after it was blown.
