    Description

    Brief history
    Listed is a fine representative of
    fine American cut glass
    , produced at a time when European glass houses were considered the international leaders in cut glass production. The
    T.G.
    Hawkes
    Company
    , based out of Corning, NY shattered that reputation by being
    awarded
    the
    1889 Paris Exposition
    grand
    prizes
    for
    two
    (2)
    of its'
    blown cut glass
    patterns
    .
    International
    acclaim
    followed -
    dispelling the notion of European superiority
    .
    T.G. Hawkes
    was the premier name in
    American Brilliant Glass
    and internationally recognized
    .
    I
    n
    1
    903 Hawkes
    teamed with
    an Englishman,
    Frederick Carder
    , to
    found the
    Steuben Company
    ; considered to be the world's most famous glass houses today.
    This all occurred during the the short lived heyday of the
    American Brilliant Period (ABP)
    which lasted from approx
    1876-1917,
    reportedly cut short by the emergence of
    World War One (
    WWI
    )
    when some of the
    c
    omponents used in the glass were needed and used in that war effort. The
    ABP
    did not recover; but continues a distinguished reputation and high desirability for its pieces. It rivals the top cut glass houses of Europe.
    The Item
    "HAWKES" - D
    elft Diamond
    pattern
    hand cut blown glass
    wine
    decanter
    with an impressive
    heavily clad
    sterling silver
    onion domed
    stopper
    .
    This is a
    rare
    piece produced by the
    T. G. Hawkes Co
    . It measures
    12
    "
    inches in
    height
    and measures
    5-1/2
    "
    inches in
    diameter
    at its widest point. The
    large ste
    rling clad onion domed stopper
    is
    most commanding
    but suits the decanter well.
    The underside of the decanter is
    acid etched
    with an early
    marking
    : a
    fleur
    de
    lis
    with a
    bird/hawk
    on
    either side
    ,
    all encased
    inside a
    trefoil
    ,
    underneath which is etched
    "
    HAWKES
    ".
    All component pieces of this mark are very distinct, but the etching is light. Was unable to snap a good image.
    Pix
    # 12
    , which is vague, provides some semblance of what it looks like.
    The sterling silver
    stopper
    is
    marked "
    STERLING
    "
    just above where the base of the sterling onion dome meets the glass. Also
    hand- scratched
    is the number
    "
    13
    "
    in the glass area of the stopper.  The
    large
    stopper measures
    4
    "
    inches
    tall
    by its'
    2-1/4
    "
    diameter
    .
