Antique Pink Opaline Glass Rose Bowl – Attributed to Stevens & Williams
A rare art glass object attributed to Stevens & Williams, where the characteristic thorn handle, the pink opaline glass, and the delicate sugar coating unite Victorian elegance with exceptional glass craftsmanship.
This antique rose bowl is hand-blown in England and features a decorative thorn handle that elegantly connects the sides of the bowl. The bowl itself is adorned with a delicate sugar coating, giving the glass a soft, slightly shimmering surface, while the handle remains clear and polished, creating a beautiful contrast. Its organic form and refined craftsmanship make it a coveted collector's item and an elegant focal point in both classic and modern homes.
The rose bowl functions beautifully as a decorative bowl, for floating flowers, or as a sculptural art glass object. An unusual find with history, character, and timeless appeal.
Selected with a focus on authentic craftsmanship, historical design objects, and curated finds with soul and character.
History & context — read more ▾
Rose bowls became particularly popular during the Victorian period, where they were used for floating flower arrangements and as elegant decorative pieces in the finer rooms of the home.
The fine sugar coating on the bowl gives the surface a slightly frosted and shimmering appearance. Together with the characteristic thorn handle, it creates an elegant contrast between matte and glossy surfaces – an expression associated with exclusive English art glass from the late 19th century.
