1820-1840
Goblet of black hyalite glass, mould-blown and cut, with a hexagonal bowl on a low stem and a nine-sided foot; the individual facets with raised medallions alternatingly decorated with polychrome painted roses and ornamental gilding, the latter also applied to other surfaces of the goblet. For a comparable form see: J. Brožová, K. Holešovský, České sklo XIX. století: ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového muzea v Praze a Moravské galerie v Brně, MG Brno 1979, cat. no. 102. The gilding may originate from the workshop of F. Egermann (Walter Spiegl, Hyalith und Lithyalin. Die böhmischen Edelsteingläser der Biedermeierzeit, pp. 36–37, http://www.glas-forschung.info/pageone/pdf/lith.pdf). H. 14 cm. Condition A.
