A Bohemian engraved opaque red-stained goblet, circa 1840-50

Probably from the Friedrich Egermann workshop, the hexagonal campana bowl coated with an opaque ruby Lithyalin style skin, the inside of the bowl stained pink, each panel engraved with scenes including a huntsman with a gun, two dogs, two deer and ducks, alternating with floral festoons flanking stylised shell motifs, set on a hexagonal base and spreading foot with a scalloped rim and a fancy star-cut underside, 19.4cm high (foot chipped)

Footnotes

Friedrich Egermann (1777-1864) established a leading glass decorating workshop and glasshouse in Bohemia at Haida (Nový Bor). In the 1840s he invented a method of staining glass surfaces a deep red. A related goblet is in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, accession no. 79.3.523.
