Topic: The best cameo work?

[chopin-liszt]

The work is amazing - I just wish they'd use it to do images that I'd actually enjoy looking at.

My computer keyboard is shorting out from all of my drool falling on it.   These are all exceptional, though I am in the Galle camp as for those being my personal favorites.

Sue I agree, I'm not keen on some of the images, but honestly the V&A goblet is superb and very beautiful
 
A couple of my favourites are the unidentified pokal I linked to at the Dorotheum
and I love this red one here

and this one is simply fab
you need to scroll down once linked and it is the red becher - click on it and it enlarges and shows detail

I'd rather be looking at fantastical chimeras, or something a bit more Bosch-y.
The beaker man does look a bit like a very bad-tempered, drunken Beethoven though!
Getting a little Breugel-y, slightly more to my taste. There's a bit of humour there.

Superb examples all around. Although not cameo, the Shell – flacons box, 1840-1860 was an educational eye opener...Czech version of Palais Royale Grand Tour stuff.

I am biased - look at http://www.gordonstudio.com.au/art_glass_gallery.html and in particular look at Kevin's work, Alisdair & Rish's folios.  Eileen probably blows the glass for them.  Grant her husband makes LARGE pieces but neither of them engrave to my knowledge.  By the way their eldest boy Hamish Donaldson is already sell pwts ( I have one).

Ohio, it's amazing isn't it?  This is my (damaged at the top) version of the blue over white over clear cameo.  My treasure

I'm a big fan of Chris Ainslie's work...

It's funny - I handle a lot of cameo glass and I have to start with a list of Cameo glass that I'd REALY like to like but find not to my taste

-almost anything English
-anything post 1945
-Le verre/charder/Schneider

so my 'best' list is a very personal taste -and might surprise

1. D'Argental/Paul Nicolas
2. Emile Galle
3. Harrach
4. Daum
5. Riedel
6. Goldberg

cheers
all

Burgun Schverer & Cie
Particularly the very colourful ones
