{"product_id":"thomas-webb-sons-cameo-scent-bottle","title":"Thomas Webb \u0026 Sons Cameo Scent Bottle","description":"Of all the glassworks produced in the late 19th century, cameo glass was the most challenging to perfect. Only a handful of artisans succeeded in mastering this intricate craft, with the firm of Thomas Webb \u0026amp; Sons standing out as the most accomplished. Webb’s cameo masterpieces surpassed those of their major French contemporaries in finesse and artistry, earning them a prestigious reputation in the world of fine glassmaking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This intricately crafted scent bottle exemplifies Thomas Webb \u0026amp; Sons' unrivaled expertise. The slender red bottle is layered with soft white overlay that has been delicately hand-carved into beautiful bamboo shoots that wrap around the bottle. The silver-gilt mount and cover, marked Sampson Mordan \u0026amp; Co., London 1884, elegantly complement the overall design. This fine glass scent bottle would have held perfumes and essential oils within its intricately decorated body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1884 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1” high x 1 1\/4” wide x 5 1\/2” deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S.
