Arts & Crafts - Arthur John Seward

An Arts and Crafts container with a lid. Appears to be a ruskin cabochon with a deep rich wonderful colour. The sides are decorated by hand. The top is skilfully executed. The copper is silvered which is typical of the work of Arthur John Seward. An undervalued craftsmen in my opinion. His work typifies and exemplifies the true meaning of Arts and Crafts. Unmarked as he used a monogram underneath on the base. A useful item and could sit anywhere in a home. Photos taken with flash on and off
