Antique Thomas Webb Cased Pink Satin Glass Vase c1880 (Sold)

A rare first class example of Webb's Satin glass, cased red over white, to form the loveliest deep pink with a diamond pattern of 'quilted' air traps. This range has the neck ground flat, very unusual in British glasshouses, and is raised on a foot, probably the rarest of the shapes Webb's made. The final casing of crystal emphasizes the colour and pattern beautifully. In excellent undamaged condition. Height19cm (7.5in)
