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.

Co. Silver Inkwell Of Henry Morton Stanley
By Elkington
Co.
Located in New Orleans, LA
This exceptional sterling silver inkwell was presented to Henry Morton Stanley, the famed Welsh-American journalist, politician and explorer, on the occasion of his marriage to Dorothy Tennant. The inkwell was a royal gift from the Prince of Wales, the future King George V, and the Princess of Wales. The charming inkstand was designed by Walter & John Barnard for the royal silversmiths Elkington & Co., and no detail was spared in its creation. Each inkwell bears Stanley’s monogram, while the crest of the Prince and Princess adorns the delicately pierced tray. The inscription reads, “To H. M. Stanley on the occasion of his marriage / From the Prince & Princess of Wales / July 12th, 1880.”
Born in Wales, Henry Morton Stanley’s lifetime of adventure began at the young age of 15 when he crossed the Atlantic aboard a merchant vessel and jumped ship in New Orleans. The young orphan was taken in by a local merchant named Henry Morton Stanley, whose name he took as his own. Stanley began a career as a journalist and was commissioned by the New York Herald to go to Central Africa in search of the famous missionary David Livingstone...
