Victorian Style Glass Walking Cane with Internal Helical Twist - A decorative glass walking cane featuring a traditional crook handle. The cane is constructed from clear glass containing an internal helical ribbon or cane-twist decoration in a deep navy blue or black tone. This style of glasswork is historically associated with 19th-century British glassmaking centres such as Nailsea or Stourbridge, where such items were produced as decorative novelties. The shaft tapers towards the base and is fitted with a modern black ribbed rubber ferrule for protection. The glass contains small internal air bubbles, known as seeds, which are consistent with the manufacturing process of the period. Length: 92 cm.
