Item Description
An exceptional and highly atmospheric set of five late 19th-century hand-blown lead crystal champagne coupes, exquisitely decorated in the Aesthetic Movement taste with naturalistic woodland motifs, Circa 1880, English, Stourbridge (Attributed to Thomas Webb & Sons or Stevens & Williams),
Each generously proportioned saucer bowl is masterfully intaglio wheel-engraved with sprawling oak branches, foliage, and acorns, accompanied by a delicate spider suspended beside an intricate, finely spun web. Executed using traditional copper-wheel engraving rather than shallow acid etching, the decoration exhibits remarkable depth, crispness, and sculptural shading across the clear crystal.
Reflecting the Japanese-inspired naturalism championed by premier Stourbridge glasshouses-most notably Thomas Webb & Sons and Stevens & Williams-during the late 1870s and 1880s, each coupe is raised on a slender drawn stem over a circular foot finished with a deep, hand-ground and polished pontil mark.
