The Stevens&Williams glass company located in Brierly near Stourbridge UK, created arround ~1900, under the artistic directorship of John Northwood I, some of the finest Art Nouveau glass décors, besides the well known exquisite 'Silveria', moss agate, the first crackle or ice glass and I here show two examples of the 'Fibrilose' decoration. The left vase exhibits an artfully shaped flower-like mouth and the right one comes in a more conventonal shape. Both vases are H=29.5 cm high and each diameter is D=10.5 cm. On the bottom near the polished pontil, photo 4, they are both marked by 'Rd. No. 36652', the so called 'Design Registration Number', 36652 meaning the S&W patent was registered on 20. Nov. 1900, for details see Charles R. Hajdamach 'British Glass 1800-1914' pages 444-445.
Outstanding. I do love these. Thanks for showing them.
That unusual first vase is nothing short of spectacular !~
