Magnificent Thomas Webb Cut Crystal Centrepiece Vase – Signed – English Antique Glass
A truly magnificent large cut crystal centrepiece vase by the celebrated English glassmakers Thomas Webb & Sons, renowned for producing some of the finest English crystal of the 19th and 20th centuries.
This exceptional statement piece is beautifully proportioned, with an impressive deep, generously flared bowl, raised upon a substantial faceted stem and beautifully cut circular foot.
