Summary
| Description |
English: Ruby (or cranberry) glass crystal sweet basket on display in the Black Country Living Museum. This is a fine example of decorative artwork in glass from a Black Country manufacturer. This has a much softer finish because it is hot-worked. The handle, the feet, and some decoration are a different glass from the bowl, to which they have been fused. Thus all features are rounded with no sharp edges to catch the light in contrast to the diamond sparkle of cut crystal. However, there is enough patterning to create some sparkle points. The strong side-lighting casts a shadow of the bowl, which reveals more of its structure. The display case, a disadvantage for photography, reveals some subtle reflections from the glass shelf and far side. |
