Finished with a broad electroplated metal collar, showing some age-related wear to the plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finely threaded glass is characteristic of the late Victorian Stourbridge tradition, with Stevens \u0026amp; Williams being the probable maker of this type of threaded body. The exact original purpose of this unusual two-handled form is uncertain, so I have described it simply as a vessel rather than assigning a specific function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements: 18.3cm high x 16cm wide across the handles.\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 925g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood overall antique condition, with minor age-related marks. There is wear and a number of small chips\/nibbles to the fine threading, particularly in places around the body, as shown in the photographs. The electroplated collar also has areas of age-related wear and thinning. No major cracks or significant damage noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly handsome and unusual example of late Victorian threaded glass, with its impressive weight, fine workmanship and distinctive twin-handled form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wonder Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54873058541901,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4552\/0717\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ffec3d65-9fa7-4a65-8943-049c1ffde64b.jpg?v=1790509195","url":"https:\/\/thewonderroom.co\/products\/antique-victorian-stevens-williams-threaded-glass-twin-handled-vessel-c-1900","provider":"The Wonder Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
