A Bohemian transparent enamelled Tournament beaker, circa 1840-45

Possibly by Eduard and Feodor Kehrer, Erbach im Odenwald, cut and polished with three convex panels painted in transparent colours each with a medieval knight on horseback, richly attired for a jousting tournament, the ground with multi-coloured foliate scroll ornament, 10.5cm high

Footnotes

The palate and use of foliate scrollwork is reminiscent of the celebrated Culm Goblets and other pieces which have been attributed to the workshop of Friedrich Egermann around 1835-40. A slightly later date for this group seems more likely and this beaker may be attributable to the brothers Eduard and Feodor Kehrer who worked in Erbach im Odenwald and specialised in Historicism. Their work in the Gothic taste is discussed by Paul von Lichtenberg, Mohn & Kothgasser (2009), pp.116-119.
