A Bohemian cameo glass stangenglas, circa 1850-60

The tall cylinder tapering slightly and raised on a panelled spreading foot, overlaid in deep ruby and cut, etched and engraved back to the clear frosted ground beneath, a group of carousing revellers seated among casks, vines and fruit festoons, surmounted by a further figure astride a barrel, a banner inscribed Gott erhalte uns junges Blut und alten Wein, the reverse with a viewing lens between tall vines, 33.5cm high

Footnotes

Two other 'pole-goblets' of related shape and colour are recorded with the signature of Carl Gunther, 1862. These were exhibited by Glass Gallery Michael Kovacek, Glass of Five Centuries (1990), figs.232-232. The present lot appears to be by a more accomplished hand, however, and while it may be a later production by Carl Gunther, it is also possible this is the work of Franz Paul Zach
