- Lot Description
Central Europe, Austria, Biedermeier period, ca. first quarter of the 19th century CE. A striking glass vase in a gorgeous translucent hue of marigold displaying a circular base and straight walls that expand outwards to a wide, annular rim. The body of this elegant vessel is adorned with a lovely painted hunting scene featuring two figures on horseback adorned in noble attire and a third figure on foot. Amongst a pastoral background of rolling hills and forestry, the male equestrian's horse strides proudly towards the standing figure, who seemingly removes his hat with his right hand to greet the rider, while holding a hunting rifle with his left. On the other side of the glass, the female horse rider looks behind her on her rearing horse, as if wondering what has happened to her partner. A church can be seen in the distance behind her, perhaps a reference to her piety or chastity. Three hunting dogs and a black bird also decorate this idyllic scene. The intricate narrative is painted in shades of verdant greens, red, cobalt blue, chocolate brown, peach, white, and grey. Bubbles throughout the glass add a gorgeous texture to the piece. Size: 5.375" W x 8.125" H (13.7 cm x 20.6 cm)
According to the Corning Museum of Glass, "Napoleon's defeat in 1815 brought peace and prosperity to Austria and Germany. A large middle class enjoyed a comfortable way of life. The style of restrained elegance and simplicity found in homes of this period was later termed 'Biedermeier.' Glasses made at that time were marked by classical taste. They were decorated with portraits, hunting scenes, and picturesque views of cities and towns."
