| Pair of Thomas Webb 'Bronze' Glass Iridescent Vases c1890 |
A rare pair of iridescent glass 'Bronze' vases by Thomas Webb - a classic baluster shape with good depth of colour. On a visit to Goode's Audley Street showrooms in 1878, Queen Victoria remarked 'we noticed a fine selection of the new Bronze glass, discovered and made by Messrs. Thomas Webb and Sons of Stourbridge. Its purple bronze surface shines with the hues of the rainbow, such as they appear on molten lead, or on pieces of steel which have been tempered..... it has already attracted considerable attention at the Paris Exhibition.'
