Antique Stevens and Williams Red and white cameo glass vase

Description

Antique Stevens and Williams Red and white cameo glass vase. 7.25" tall with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Late 19th to very early 20th century.

Cameo glass is a luxury form of glass art produced by cameo glass engraving or etching and carving through fused layers of differently colored glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored background. The technique is first seen in ancient Roman art of about 30 BC, where it was an alternative to the more luxurious engraved gem vessels in cameo style that used naturally layered semi-precious gemstones such as onyx and agate. Glass allowed consistent and predictable colored layers, even for round objects.
