The International Exhibition: articles of glass, by Messrs. Dobson and Pearce, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: articles of glass, by Messrs. Dobson and Pearce, 1862....the two side ewers are more successful than that in the centre, which is somewhat heavy in shape, and is enriched with a decoration in some respects objectionable: the faults of the centre jug are, however, altogether absent in those at the sides, which are in every respect beautiful works. That at the left is classic in character, being Greek in form and enriched with appropriate ornament; the fret, the laurel wreath, and a series of dots form the chief enrichments. The "subject" consists of a female figure sitting in a chariot drawn by a spirited steed. Beautiful as the last-mentioned ewer is, it is as yet second in attractiveness to that at the right side of the group, which is rich and energetic in the composition of its ornament, and is full of well-designed grotesque shapes. Still, while this bottle is full of commendable features and is rich beyond description, it is not in reality more worthy than the less showy jug to the left, for this is full of unobtrusive merit'.
