A Bohemian ruby-stained and gilded goblet and cover, circa 1840-60

Of small size in very dark red all over, the octagonal beaker-shaped bowl with a reserved panel finely engraved with a cavalry officer, the reverse with seven viewing lenses, one cut with the initials S C, the remainder of the ground with rich raised-gold scrollwork and enamelled flower sprigs, 28.5cm high (2)

Footnotes

An identical figure subject is engraved on a goblet in the Passau Glasmuseum, see Georg Höltl, Das Böhmische Glas 1700-1950, vol.2 Empire-Biedermeier, p.124, fig.164, where it is suggested this is the work of Emanuel Hoffmann, Carlsbad. The engraving is from the same print source as a beaker depicting Marschall Josef Poniatowski illustrated by Baumgärtner (1981), no.294
