Footnotes
The Imperial Glass Works, St. Petersburg, manufactured a profusion of articles in the multi-layered glass technique throughout the 1840s. Russian artisans were heavily influenced by contemporary Bohemian glassmakers, attempting to imitate their style as they were very fashionable at the time. Designs such as this were usually commissioned from artists Bude and Bosse, who worked for the Imperial Porcelain Factory and specialised in flower, fruit and putti compositions on pale backgrounds. A glass tazza with very similar painting is illustrated in Imperial Glass Factory, 1777-1917: 225th Foundation Day anniversary, catalogue of exhibition (2004), p. 74, cat. 385. A glass bottle decorated in a very similar style is in the collection of The State Hermitage Museum.
