Joshua Hodgetts for Stevens and Williams, a rare 'Rainbow cased' vase, circa 1917, of swollen form with slightly flared neck, encased in pink, amber and blue, intaglio engraved, carved and polished, with two panels, to one aspect with three birds in flight above sunrise, another aspect with two birds in flight, between scrolling branches and foliage, the foot with cogwheel rim, engraved 'J Hodgetts', 18.3cm high. This vase is a fine example of the skill and quality of English Art Nouveau glassware produced in early 20th century Stourbridge at Stevens and Williams. Not only is the cased colour combination here so scarce, the fact that it is engraved by the engraver, Joshua Hodgetts, is also highly unusual, if known at all. Hodgetts is regarded as one of the, if not the, lead intaglio engraver of his generation. A similar example of this series was offered at Sothebys Olympia, December 2003, which was recorded in the Stevens and Williams Description book for 1917.
