    Antique French pewter Sustenteur Medical Apothecary Jars for Sterilization both<br>6" tall x 5" wide. Both guaranteed 19th century.<br>I have found that this style of jar, called Sustenteur, was popular in France in<br>the late 18th century, and were created as a piece of medical equipment to help<br>heal stomach problems. They work as pressure cookers and they were used to<br>prepare either meat or vegetable broths, which were cooked in a hermetically<br>sealed pot for hours in a water bath, thus providing a germ-free broth for<br>people with delicate stomachs. There are three holes at the base of the pot.<br>When oxygen would escape form the boiling water, it made bubbles, and the holes<br>allowed the bubbles to escape, so the pot would not tip over. The handle at the<br>top of the pewter cap allowed the pot to be easily removed from the water bath<br>and carried. Given that they are air-tight, these sustenteurs were also used as<br>tobacco jars, tea caddies, or coffee containers.<br>Tw31

    1 in stock

    12.75" Texas Studio Art Glass Vase Michael McDougal 7" wide No cracks, chips, scratches, or restorations. Inspired by nature and known for his sense of color and elegant whimsy, Glass artist Michael McDougal lives and works in the Texas Hill Country. He was introduced to glass by Jane Duryea, protégé of Robert Willson and went on to study at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State, under Jane Bruce, Claire Kelly & Antony Schafermeyer and Boyd Sugiki. McDougal has spent time in the "fornaces" of Murano, Italy, as well. Today, he works with his friend and mentor Jason Lawson in studios in Fischer, Texas, a small town north of San Antonio. "Glass is an astoundingly versatile medium," says McDougal."It has an inherent music in it. Working with it in molten form is rhythmic… more of a dance than a process.”  Michael Monroe, former curator and director of the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery describes a pitcher from McDougal's collection as "…capturing the essence of molten glass in a moment of frozen elegance. The handle, with its dynamic but delicate pattern is beautifully integrated to give both a sense of motion and balance to the piece." "Whether appreciating it or creating it, I love art that elicits a sense of wonder, a sense of awe, makes me grin or laugh," says McDougal. "Whether an exploration of beauty, whimsy, or that huge realm of the unknown, it must remind me that all our human stresses and strains are insignificant.” McDougal's work is featured in galleries throughout Texas and California. He has been featured in shows in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston and Galveston, among other cities.

Its impact upon Coventry, where English ribbon<br>weaving had been concentrated for 150 years, was devastating. Forty five per<br>cent of Coventry's population earned their livelihood from ribbon weaving. Looms<br>were destroyed, and during a two-year period 9,000 persons emigrated to foreign<br>countries in search of employment.<br><br>But there was one man who was resourceful enough to overcome the blow<br>sufficiently to provide for his own family, the weavers in his employ, and, in a<br>small way, to bolster the economy of Coventry. This man was Thomas Stevens, born<br>in 1828 in the outlying district of Foleshill.<br><br>As a boy, Thomas Stevens had learned the ribbon weaver's trade at the firm of<br>Pears and Franklin in Upper Well Street, Coventry, and in 1854 he set up his own<br>business in Queen Street. He had learned all the aspects of his trade well and<br>the jacquard loom was of particular interest to him.<br><br>This loom was a French invention of about 1790 of Joseph Jacquard that had been<br>introduced into England in 1820, and its excellence was recognized quickly, so<br>that by 1838 as many as 2,200 jacquard looms were thumping in Coventry. The<br>principle of the jacquard loom is based upon the fact that mechanically-operated<br>devices controlled loops and pulleys to weave patterns in textiles.<br><br>Thomas Stevens improved, adapted, and refined the loom by a series of inventions<br>so that he could produce silk pieces that have exquisite detail with what seems<br>to be a three-dimensional effect. He produced pictures, musical notes, lettering<br>and portraits of amazing beauty. The first step in producing Stevengraph works<br>was an artist's drawing on squared paper. These designs were originals, copies<br>of portraits, copies of prints, and often of texts in the manner of illuminated<br>manuscripts. The Victorian love of covering the entire surface of the piece is<br>often in evidence in these pieces. The squared paper pictures look like designs<br>for cross-stitch embroidery work.<br><br>Large cards were made that carried out the artist's picture and a separate card<br>was made and per- forated for each color in every single woven line of the<br>picture. The cards were put into an endless chain arrangement and placed in the<br>Jacquard loom to regulate the operation of the warp threads. Every time the<br>shuttle carrying the weft was placed across the loom, a different card calling<br>for a variation in the warp threads and consequently in the pattern was brought<br>into use. Many pieces used ten to 12 colors. After the entire pattern was<br>completed, a space was provided and the pattern began to repeat itself. In this<br>way, the weaver produced spools of beautifully woven picture ribbons that were<br>later cut apart at the separating areas. Because of the work involved in placing<br>the cards in the loom, many picture ribbons were woven before a change was made<br>and a different set of cards was used. One 13-inch-long bookmarker that Stevens<br>produced required 5,500 perforated cards.<br><br>Thomas Stevens was not the only Coventry weaver who was able to survive the<br>depression by weaving pictorial ribbons nor was he the first to produce pictures<br>on the Jacquard loom. As early as 1801 in Lyons, black-and-white portraits had<br>amazed people. In 1855, James Hart wove silk pictures depicting Queen Victoria<br>and Napoleon 111, and in 1858 John Caldicott wove a ribbon with a portrait of<br>Edward Ellice, who was the Member of Parliament from Coventry. But the best<br>known of the jacquard picture weavers was Thomas Stevens. It is he who stands<br>out above the others and it is he who invented the term "Stevengraph."<br><br>By 1862, Stevens had produced nine bookmarkers of different designs. During 1862<br>he registered four new patterns: "Unchanging Love," "I wish you a Merry<br>Christmas," "Thanksgiving," and "Thy Bridal Day." During this same year he pro-<br>duced a few larger pieces that were desirable for framing, but he evidently<br>changed his mind about the pictures because he produced no more of them during<br>the next 16 years, confining himself, instead, to producing his popular<br>bookmarkers.<br><br>Just who made the first Stevengraph-type bookmarker is a matter of considerable<br>dispute and the contenders for the honor are John Caldicott, John Ratliff, and<br>perhaps Thomas Stevens. Among Stevens's contemporaries who did the same sort of<br>jacquard picture weaving were, in addition to those just named, the brothers<br>John and Joseph Cash, and Dalton and Barton.<br><br>In 1863, the royal marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and in 1864,<br>the tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth gave the weavers ample subject matter to<br>satisfy the demands of a souvenir-hungry nation. Strangely enough, at this time<br>Stevens's competition dropped out of the race and left him a clear field for a<br>period of time to produce his bookmarkers and allied items.<br><br>By the late 1880s he had produced more than 900 items and among them are<br>sachets, birthday verses, Christmas and New Year greetings, calendars, fans,<br>valentines, ladies' neckties and sashes, emblematic sashes for fraternal orders,<br>pictures suitable for framing, and of course, the always popular bookmarkers,<br>many with tassel-tipped ends. They vary in size from 1 1/4 by 4 inches to 7 1/2<br>by 13 inches for the mounted pictures and his various items sold for as low as 5<br>cents, to as much as $14 for a sash.

By this time he had sales agencies in New York<br>City, Cincinnati, Leipzig, Glasgow, Dublin, and Londonderry, in addition to<br>London. To stimulate sales at the expositions that were popular during the<br>period of his greatest activity he sent weavers with his version of the jacquard<br>loom to many of them.
