Footnotes
Philippe-Joseph Brocard (1831-1896) specialised in the production of imitations of Medieval and Islamic glass. He gained critical acclaim at the Paris Universelle Exposition of 1867, which included a number of vessels by him decorated in this style, and subsequently at the 1873 Vienna World's Fair and 1878 Paris Exposition. A glass flask by Brocard of identical shape but with different decoration is illustrated by Jet Pijzel-Domisse and Titus Eliëns, Glinsterend Glas (2009), p. 316, cat. 505.
