A large range of different forms are displayed from a desk set numbering twenty-six, all in the same "Etched Metal and Glass"
design in the grapevine pattern. The pierced design was achieved by acid-etching bronze. Subsequently, green marbleized Favrile-glass
panes were applied to the reverse, giving the effect of a miniature grapevine window.
