Description: | This model of the Devonshire Cup-coral Caryophyllia smithii, 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. Despite the name, this cup-coral is not just found in Devonshire, but over the whole of the western coasts of the British Isles. It lives at depths of between 0 - 200 metres.
