This was the third of my road trip finds - a wonderful piece of Victorian art glass most likely made in Stourbridge.
The heart - shaped, deeply crimped dish has a satin finish, & is made from clear glass with fine, white pulled loop decoration, overlaid with fine pink machine threading. There is a clear applied pincered rigaree. It measures 13.5 cm x 11 cm across the top rim, 5.5 cm tall, & 6 cm across the base, which has a polished out pontil mark.
Due to the similarity of the pulled loop decor overlaid with machine threading seen on a rose bowl in my collection, I believe this dish may be by Stuart & Sons.
In perfect condition.
Here's the Stuart & Sons rose bowl -

GREAT GLASS !!!!
That is a fantastic piece Marin!
Many thanks, Kevin!
Thanks also, Bernard!
Well found, IronLace. A sumptuous piece so typical of the Victorian era and Stourbridge glassmaking. I'm assuming that this sat in a metal frame on the breakfast or dining table? Would love to have it my collection.
Many thanks, Russell117!
Yes, a truly classic piece indeed. Like many of these items, its frame is long gone, but it still displays very well.
This is spectacular!!
Much appreciated, Scott!
So beautiful!..
Thanks also, Penny!
