Zodiac Bowl, Sidney Waugh, 1937, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Sculptor Sidney Waugh joined Steuben as chief designer in 1933, creating such memorable designs as this bowl. It was made using copper-wheel engraving to produce the raised decorative effect for each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. Discussing Waugh’s work in a London exhibition of 1935, a critic for the Sunday Times wrote, “The work of Mr. Sidney Waugh attains a classic beauty and perfection quite unrivalled in contemporary glass engraving. His taste is unfailing as his line is exquisite, delicate, and expressive.” Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh J. Smith Jr. Size: 27 × 36.2 cm (10 5/8 × 14 ¼ in.) Medium: Glass
