A Bohemian amber-stained goblet and cover, possibly by August Böhm, Meistersdorf, circa 1835-45

Very sharply cut with a bucket-shaped bowl and faceted baluster stem on a scalloped foot cut underneath with a diaper pattern, the solid cover also heavily scalloped and cut on the underside, the raised circular panel finely engraved with a spirited scene of a mounted Turk, his scimitar drawn and raised, looking behind him as his horse charges, the reverse with a panel of multiple viewing lenses, 30.5cm high (2)

Footnotes

An identical subject appears on a goblet in the Passau Glasmuseum, see Georg Höltl, Das Böhmische Glas 1700-1950, vol.2 Empire-Biedermeier, p.126, fig.170. The catalogue suggests this is probably engraved by August Böhm. See also lot 43 in this sale for the same subject on a beaker dated 1839. This beaker is almost-identical to another illustrated by Paul von Lichtenberg, Glasgravuren des Biedermeier (2004), p.252, fig.270, where this is attributed to Franz Hansel.
