Style note — Aesthetic style was very popular in the 1870s and 1880s. The homewares in Aesthetic fashion were elegantly designed and useful; the decoration had to be aesthetic, which meant elegant, tasteful and not garish. Design elements were inspired by the imports of ceramics, lacquer furniture and fabrics from the Far East, especially Japan.
Facts of Lavish Fun bit — hurricane glass is a blown sleeve used to protect candle and oil lamp flames from the drought. A hurricane cocktail glass simply has the same shape.
