Question about this piece
A beautiful English engraved Stevens & Williams red and white overlay cameo glass vase, hand carved, hand-engraved, and hand-etched by J. Millward, signed Stevens & Williams and J. Millward. The vase was created in baluster form with a long bottle neck design. Composed of red ground hand-etched glass, with beautiful white floral and foliate overlay hand-etched and hand-engraved designs. The lip and footing are further adorned with banding and handcut semicircle and circular patterns. After the etching and engraving process, the glass was acid washed to create a three-dimensional effect, allowing for the white overlayed flora and folliate to appear "raised" on the primary red layer. Provenance; Birks Museum, Millkin University, Decatur, Illinois. Bearing the museum inventory number; 85.16.18 England, circa 1890.
