Baby Alpaca Brown Squirrel simon pearce glass trees A 19th century botanical fern

A 19th century botanical fern design favored by the Great Houses of England landowners who competed with each other to grow and propagate plants from cuttings brought back from exploration in exotic places is etched into the glass of this extraordinary glass vase

from its humble beginnings to its rise as a central thread in American culture

they evoke the hush of falling snow and the glitter of a well-set holiday table

or for other sentimental treasures

An exquisitely detailed pewter elk with a large antler rack serves as the base for six pewter doe cheese picks
