Signed F. Parsche, depicting a Hunt scene surrounded by branches and acorns.
height 13in (43cm)

Footnotes

Please note, the dimensions should read: height 17in (43cm)

This ewer is engraved by Frank X Parsche. Born in 1847 in Meisterdorf, Austria, Parsche emigrated to Edinburgh, Scotland, at the age of 18 to work for the Edinburgh and Leith Glass Company as an engraver. In 1873 he left Scotland for New York and took employment at Green Point Glass Works (formerly Dorflinger) until moving to Burley & Co in Chicago to work as an engraver. By 1876 he had opened his own cutting shop in Chicago and in 1892 he was joined by his son Frank, together forming F X Parsche & Co. They made glass primarily to be sold through Marshall Field & Co and were one of the exhibitors at the Columbia Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The company prospered until 1917 after which the First World War made it impossible to secure the quality of glass needed for fine cutting, forcing its closure.
