Description: | This model of the sea anemone Phellia murocinata, was made by the Blaschkas, a family of highly skilled glassworkers. Several lots of models were bought for the Newcastle Museum between 1865 and 1870. The column of the 'walled corklet' is covered with a rough skin from the base to about halfway up; the skin is loose from there upwards, forming a loose tube into which the top can retreat for protection. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals art glass natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
