Topic: Interesting Engraved Goblet - German? English? Czech?

[eglass]

I haven't found that particular piece either, Frank, I'll ask about it. I have another piece that this gentleman and I are going to be discussing - it was seen here a couple of years ago and Marcus helped me with it. I still have it - but it may have found a new home:

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the blue Pfohl on his site.  I was puzzled about that, too.  My guess is that the original scene was on a lithophane.  

For the bowl, you (or the gentleman, since it's in German) might find this helpful:

Kristi, thank you for that link! I'm still waiting for it to download, I'm on dial-up out here in the "boondocks".

I'm enchanted with the glass on his website, and of course get lost in the Passau website every time I visit it.

Hi Kelli,i have just come across a website that may shed some light on your glass,they seem to have some similar designs it is http://www.Bohemian-glassworks.com/gallery/engrave5.HTML if you have any difficulty in finding it let me know as i have put it into my favourites,i think you may have to type it into your address bar rather than a search engine..lynn

Lynn, hi! Thanks for the link - I have seen that website, that company makes new glass "in the style of" the old makers. It's a good one to check on occasion though, because you'll see pieces that are being currently presented as "old" on ebay as well as in antique shops, etc.

I have just come back from a visit to the V & A; and was pleasantly surprised to see a goblet almost certainly engraved by the same hand!!  I'm sorry I don't have a photograph to post, but I made a note of the details

It is item 9345 - the shelf is described as "Biedemeier and Bohemian" "Goblet, etched, with latticinio thread in stem - mid 19th Century"

There is no rider - and the horse is standing; but the similarities (to me at least) are obvious

Sorry - this post is in the wrong thread!!! My fault entirely!  Could a moderator please redirect it?  I'm still not used to the search facility here on the Board - and I was misled by the Bohemian reference.  Should be in the thread discussing the Bohemian Goblet with the rider in militry uniform on the rearing horse.

Hi Malwodyn,

I've separated out these two posts with the intention of merging them with the thread "discussing the Bohemian Goblet with the rider in military uniform on the rearing horse", but the only thread like that that I can find is the one you originally added the comments to, the subject of which is a goblet engraved with two rearing horses, one of which is being ridden by a man in military uniform...

Are you absolutely certain it was a different thread, and if so, can you or anyone give any more hints to finding it?  

Here are eglass's original photos of the goblet in that thread.

[malwodyn]

Cathy, that is indeed the thread in which I had intended to post; but when I looked at it after it had gone on line, the pictures seemed to be of another piece entirely!!!

Could you please redirect my posting of yesterday's date? 

An additional remark I should make is that the latticinio twist in the V & A goblet has a blue thread, while that in the goblet which started the debate has a red thread.

Malwodyn - Topic remerged as requested. This is a long, contorted thread with lots of pics of different pieces, so it's not surprising you were confused.

Kelli, I note that you've sold the piece in question. May we save some of your photographs to the thread, so that they're preserved if you delete the originals?

Thanks
