The International Exhibition: group of glass, by Messrs. Phillips... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: group of glass, by Messrs. Phillips, of Oxford-street and Bond-street, 1862. The shape [of the central vase], while novel, is good, the division into primary parts and the relation of the parts to each other, being well managed. The enrichment is skilfully composed and is beautiful in its parts, and the jewelling is well managed...The ornament applied to this vase is of a Gothic character, and is in tolerably good keeping throughout. The vase to the right is of a fine classic form, and has a somewhat Roman character. The engraving is very fine, hut the ornament in itself is not of the most satisfactory character. The ewer and cup on the left constitute part of the "Iliad Dessert Service, " which is full of beautiful work and excellent qualities. The ornament is simple, consisting of the wave, lines, and dots, and the classic figure subject, which is flatly and simply treated. The form of the jug is peculiarly elegant, and the cup is in good keeping with it. The little tazza is of a simple Gothic character - a little trefoil leaf so arranged as to surround a jewel and fill a quatrefoil space constitutes its enrichment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
The International Exhibition: group of glass by Messrs. Phillips," showcases a stunning collection of glassware displayed at the 1862 International Exhibition. The central vase, with its novel shape, is a masterpiece of design, skillfully dividing into primary parts and harmoniously relating to each other. The vase's enrichment is exquisitely composed, with beautiful jeweling that is expertly managed. The ornament on the central vase is of a Gothic character, maintaining a consistent style throughout. To the right, a fine classic vase with a Roman influence is displayed, boasting intricate engraving, although the ornament itself is not the most satisfying. The ewer and cup on the left belong to the Iliad Dessert Service, a collection full of beautiful work and excellent qualities. The ornament on these pieces is simple, featuring waves, lines, and dots, with a classic figure subject that is flatly and simply treated. The form of the jug is peculiarly elegant, and the cup is well-matched to it. The little tazza on the left is of a simple Gothic character, with a trefoil leaf design that surrounds a jewel and fills a quatrefoil space." This photograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the glass industry during the 19th century, showcasing the intricate details and diverse styles that were on display at the International Exhibition in 1862.
