We are exceptionally proud to present this single center trumpet + 2 hanging baskets, hand blown English Cranberry epergne from the period 1915-1925. Our example is a compact table epergne in a fanciful Fleur de Lis style, and is positively dated by the elongated banded brass sleeve, and the flush cut basket bases. Pre Edwardian joiner-work was thinner non machined brass, and hanging conical baskets were generally finished with base knobs. The English produced three generic sizes of hand blown glass epergnes, each with its own level of complexity. Compact epergnes measured between 10 and 15 inches, while intermediate examples stood between 16 and 19.5 inches. The tall category encompassed epergnes between 20 and ~24 inches tall. Our compact treasure weighs 1# 8 oz. and measures 9 x 9 x 14.75 inches tall.
