When it comes to decorations on Victorian art glass, more is always better. This vase by Thomas Webb & Sons has the shaded color scheme called peachblow, a satin finish, and gold flowers and butterflies.
For art glass collectors, a peachblow vase can be as much of a treat as a perfectly ripe peach at the peak of its season. Peachblow is one of the many types of two-tone art glass popular in the late Victorian era. The shaded glass craze began with Amberina, shading from amber to ruby, patented in 1883. Burmese glass, shading from pink to yellow, was registered in 1885.
