Historical Casting & Provenance

Printed on a 1910s Albion hand press using water-fast carbon black ink on Somerset 250gsm mould-made paper.

Hand-finished in Boston by skilled glassworkers. Subtle variations in bubble distribution, wall thickness, and pontil markings testify to authentic artisan execution.

Glass Composition & Joint Precision

Unbleached rag cotton paper with natural gum arabic adhesive backing. Shellac-based sealing wax.

Glassware Material: Kiln-annealed soda-lime silica, mineral metal-oxide tinting. Heavy wall density: 3.5mm – 4.2mm.

Studio Care & Maintenance

Store in a dry desk drawer away from high humidity. Moisten gum backing lightly before applying to clean glass.

Studio Advice: To prevent ground-glass stopper binding over extended storage, avoid pressing the stopper forcibly when wet. Store in ambient dry room temperatures.
