- Lot Description
RARE SIGNED STEVENS AND WILLIAMS APPLIED-DECORATED ART GLASS BOWL, opaque pink/rose cased in an opaque green-tinted white or cream-colored (reacts under black light) layer with all-over plush/satin finish, squat pyriform body with inwardly-tooled ruffled rim, three applied frosted light amber and translucent green embellishments in the form of acanthus leaves which have thick stems bent underneath to form the feet of the vessel; the underside with an applied floral prunt, and the bowl's interior with a delicate stamp which reads "STEVENS & WILLIAMS / ART GLASS / STOURBRIDGE". Circa 1885. 4" HOA.
Literature: Parallels Hajdamach - British Glass: 1800-1914, p. 304, pl. 284 and p. 306, pl. 287.
Catalogue Note: This skillfully formed vase/bowl relates closely to the "Matsu-no-ke" vases first developed by Frederick Carder (later to be the innovative head of Steuben Glassworks, and one of the most influential glass artists of all time) and John Northwood I (the father of Northwood Glass Co. founder Harry Northwood), in 1884, while both men were working for Stevens and Williams. According to the Corning Museum of Glass, the technique's "distinctive feature is the presence of applied and tooled sprays of blossoms influenced by Japanese designs". They decided to call this type of glass "Mat-Su-No-Ke" which translates to "The Spirit of the Pine Tree". Stevens and Williams registered "Matsu-no-ke" glass in 1884. Although this bowl lacks the blossoms associated with the technique, its idiosyncratic design still links closely to the philosophy as seen in the Stuart sketchbook (pl. 287), and the applied prunt matches the "applied flower" formed by Northwood's patented pincers and stamping device.Condition
Very good condition with some staining/discoloration around exterior surfaces, some bruising to lowermost extremities of the feet, and scattered shallow flaking/roughness to inner edge of rim.
