Moresque – Steuben

On display at the Rockwell Gallery, Corning, New York, are examples of this very rare glassware, along with all the other types discussed in this book. The body of Moresque glass has a custard coloration with haphazard, dark gray-green or dark gray-blue swirls running in a vertical fashion about the shiny surface. Footed vases and possibly other shapes were manufactured.
