Thomas Webb & Jules Barbe

(Cont'd)

Over the period of few months, a small group of knowledgeable collectors worked to collect, identify and document the designs found on Burmese glass produced by Thomas Webb & Sons of Stourbridge, England during the Victorian era.  Many of these designs were created by Jules Barbe during the period 1886 - 1888 and assigned a name and pattern number.   Unfortunately, however, no illustrations of these designs have been located.  In addition, some Webb designs have been subjectively identified by common botanical name in Fairy Lamps - Elegance in Candle Lighting by Ruf & Ruf.  Many other examples of Webb's designs, however, remain unidentified.
