Made in England by Stevens and Williams circa 1880's.  Measurements: almost 8 1/2 inches high; 11 inches accross the front and 4 inches front to back.  Narrow oval opaline glass forms the main body / bowl. Wonderful pearl quality with fine striations / variations which we attempted to show in the 'photos. Stands on 4 golden glass legs in a free, organic form that flows on either side into the handles and is echoed on the top rim by the ruffled border in the same glass, crimped in a tightly folded pattern. The front has applied glass fruit, flowers, stems and foliage. 3 applied strawberries in textured glass orange and red - look ready to be plucked and eaten. Strawberry blossoms are realistically modelled with great detail, as are the leaves with the fine central and striated veins wonderfully depicted.  Polished pontil underneath.  Very good condition considering the age and delicate nature of the glass. There is a line in the amethyst stem above the strawberry on the left hand side, which might be original to the manufacture. There are two green sepals broken off the strawberries - one from each of the left hand berries. No other damage/ restorations of any sort found.  Please see my other items for auction on Ebay.
