About the Item

This American Brilliant cut glass covered box by T.G. Hawkes & Co. exemplifies the tremendous level of craftsmanship for which Hawkes was known. The box's surface is covered in skillfully cut hobstar and fan motifs, giving the work wonderful texture and brilliance. With a perfectly matched cover, the box's precise cutting is on full display, giving testament to the fine quality of Hawkes' creations. Founded in 1880 by Thomas G. Hawkes, the Hawkes Company was making glass for the White House by 1886. In 1889, two of their cut glass patterns won the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition. This coveted prize not only brought prestige to Hawkes, but for the first time, American glass gained a firm place on the international scene. By the 20th century, American cut glass was world-renowned, recognized for its superiority and advanced glass-making methods, with Hawkes's Cut Glass Company providing some of the finest and most inspired pieces of any maker. Demand from affluent Americans for beautiful hand-cut glass products spurred intense competition and creativity within the industry. During the 82 years that T.G. Hawkes & Co. was in operation, they produced some 350 patterns and special designs. Early 20th century 5 1/4" high x 7" wide x 7" deep
