🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes:
Peachblow glass, popular in the late 1800s, was prized for its subtle gradient and delicate finish — a response to Chinese porcelain aesthetics. Thomas Webb was a leading English glassmaker known for their finely blown, richly colored, and often gilded decorative ware. This unsigned piece fits squarely within that tradition.
