Information on Thomas Webb & Sons including a gallery of glass items made by the firm and makers mark. Thomas Webb & Sons was an English glass company, founded in 1837 by Thomas Webb (1804-1869) near Stourbridge, England. The name T. Webb & Co. was adopted in 1842, and later became Thomas Webb & Sons. Webb operated the Platts glasshouse from 1837 to 1856 and then the Dennis glassworks from 1855 to 1990.

The company, known originally as the “Crystal King of England,” was noted for the high quality of its Cameo glass. Cameo glass is created by a process of etching and carving through a layer of opaque white glass, leaving a white relief design on a darker colored glass body. Some pieces used two layers of etched glass to create a three-color Cameo glass product. In the 1870s John Northwood produced the first pieces, inspired by the Portland Vase. George Woodall would produce the most distinguished Webb Cameo work towards the end of the 19th century.

The finest and most valuable pieces were signed with “GEM CAMEO” included in the mark – Roman cameo glass was itself an imitation of the luxury art form of the cameo engraved gem. Reference: Wikipedia

Legras & Cie was established by Auguste Jean-Francois Legras in about 1864. By the end of the century it had specialised in acid-etched and enamelled cameo glass inspired by that made by Émile Gallé, France’s leading maker of decorative glass in the fashionable Art Nouveau style. During the first decade of the 1900s Legras & Cie became a major exponent of the École de Nancy (School of Nancy) led by Gallé. The firm produced a wide variety of commercial art-glass, both cameo and painted in enamels, but also made some large high-quality pieces for international exhibitions – only a few of these more elaborate examples have survived.

Émile Gallé (Nancy, 8 May 1846 – Nancy, 23 September 1904) was a French artist who worked in glass, and is considered to be one of the major forces in the French Art Nouveau movement.

Although technically a glass maker, Gallé was renown for cameo glass. A technique which involved etching and carving through fused layers of different coloured glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored background.
