This large early 20th century display cloche stands as a clear glass dome cloche in the Edwardian style. The piece measures 45.5 cm high and 33 cm wide, showing a smooth cylindrical body, a mouth-blown form, and a circular rim base. At the top apex sits a spherical finial with a decorative glass knob handle. The glass possesses a translucent clear tone with subtle greyish shading around the crown. The mouth-blown manufacturing technique is visible in the gentle undulations and soft variations across the surface. Suitable for an English Country House interior scheme, the cloche functions well on a sideboard top. It serves as an enclosure to display small decorative objects or organic specimens. The clear walls protect delicate items from dust while allowing full visibility from all angles. Placing it within a reception room or dining space provides a practical enclosure for curious pieces, bringing a period aesthetic to modern home presentation.

FAQs

Glass cloches originated in 17th-century France for horticultural use to shield delicate crops from frost, later evolving during the 19th and early 20th centuries into indoor decorative covers for taxidermy, clocks, and food.

Traditional period glass domes were mouth-blown by skilled glassmakers using a blowpipe to form the bell shape, frequently finished with a solid glass knob or finial fused directly to the apex.

Authentic period glass domes typically exhibit characterful manufacturing traits such as air bubbles, subtle wall variations, pontil marks, and occasional pale purple discolouration caused by manganese reacting to sunlight.

A glass cloche can be placed on a sideboard, console, or dining table to encase botanical specimens, decorative objects, or culinary items, creating a refined focal point.

Wash the glass by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft microfibre cloth, taking care to avoid abrupt temperature changes that could cause thermal cracking.
