A companion bud sprouts next to the rose, still cradled by a cage of green sepals, amidst a crown of three leaves in varied shades of green. Gathered stems support the delightful bloom, flanked by two more leaves. Opaque red ground. “Wherever they were made they are Victorian workmanship at its best.” —Paul Hollister, Glass Paperweights of the New-York Historical Society.
