Bohemia, Silesia ?, circa 1710 / 30. A rare small transparen - Lot 142
Bohemia, Silesia ?, circa 1710 / 30. A rare small transparent glass bowl on a foot, finely engraved with a wheel. Elongated bowl with curved rim decorated with two shells on each side, each entirely decorated with small scenes and landscapes featuring characters and animals, some of them exotic or chinoiserie, the ends decorated, for one, with an architectural garden with a water feature and fountains, for the other, with a border of lambrequins and leafy C's, the center left empty must have been intended to receive a monogram. Faceted baluster foot. Base centered with a cinquefoil and scalloped border. Height: 12 cm. This small bowl bears witness to a highly original form in Bohemian Baroque glassware. This type of scalloped-edged bowl is listed in Langhamer's work, but few have survived. The Corning Glass Museum in New York appears to possess only a late 19th-century model (inv. 81.3.123). Book consulted: A. Langhamer, Le Verre de Bohême, Paris, 2002, p 43. Expert: Cabinet Fligny Paris.
