Spoon holder
Louis Friedrich Vaupel|New England Glass Company
ca. 1876 · Glass, cut and engraved · The American Wing
Louis Vaupel was one of the most skilled glass engravers working in the United States during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Trained in Germany, Vaupel immigrated to America in 1850, and began work at the New England Glass Company where he quickly became designer and head of the engraving shop. The wheel-engraved decoration on this spoon holder, bearing sprays of roses and morning glories and floral festoons, is of exceptional quality.
