An English Cameo Glass Vase of Impressive Size
Almost Certainly by William Northwood
A very rare large English carved cameo glass vase, carefully hand-blown and annealed, before the opal glass surface was acid-etched, revealing the ruby red transparent layer, and a motif of Wood Violet foliage hand-engraved upon the opaque surface.
English, circa 1880
