Description
deeply intaglio cut poppies, 13.5" tall, minor side chip....Hawkes introduced its version of stone-wheel engraving in 1903 and called the glassware "gravic." The engraved flowers usually have miter-cut leaves and stems (Sinclaire and Spillman 1997, p. 69). Three of the many Hawkes Gravic patterns were patented: Gravic Carnation, Gravic Floral, and "Gravic Tiger Lily." Some gravic pieces are signed with "Gravic Glass" acid-etched above the trademark's familiar trefoil; one also finds "Gravic Glass Pat'd" in this position, but rarely. The company also signed some gravic pieces with the regular Hawkes trademark.Early Hawkes gravic glass can be quite elaborately cut and engraved as shown by this fern dish. Later, gravic designs were considerably simplified.
