A Russian cut-glass ice bucket with gilt-bronze handle
Russia, Maltsov manufactory. Late 19th century.
Cut glass, gilt bronze; wheel-cut, faceted and polished glass; cast and chased mount. Dimensions: Height with open handle 18 cm. Diameter: 14 x 13 cm.
A compact and finely proportioned ice bucket formed of clear glass with a slightly flared cylindrical body set on a low circular foot. The surface is richly enlivened by bands of geometric cut ornament: a central frieze of alternating “russian diamonds” and triangular motifs, bordered by finely cross-hatched zones and delicate starbursts, while the underside is finished with a radiating cut rosette. The restrained brilliance of the cut glass is set off by an elegant swing handle in gilt bronze, the terminals cast in the form of vine leafs.
Such vessels were intended for the formal dining table as accompaniment of wine and champagne serving. Founded in the 18th century, the Maltsov factories developed into one of the largest glass and crystal manufacturing networks in Imperial Russia. Originating with works established by Vasily Maltsov in the 1730s-1740s, the enterprise was expanded by subsequent generations, notably at Gus-Khrustalny and Dyatkovo. In the 19th century, the Dyatkovo Crystal Factory became one of the leading glassworks in the country. After financial difficulties and reorganization in the late 19th century, the Maltsov industrial complex continued under a joint-stock company until its nationalization in 1918.

The Sazikov firm was founded in Moscow in 1793 by Pavel Fedorovich Sazikov, a silversmith and merchant. In 1810 he established a factory and shop for silverware, later inherited by his son Ignaty Pavlovich Sazikov (1793–1868), one of the most distinguished jewelers of mid-19th century Russia. Ignaty expanded production, introduced specialization of labor and modern equipment, and established a training department for craftsmen. He also collaborated with leading sculptors and artists, including Ivan Vitali and Pyotr Klodt, to create designs.

By the mid-19th century, the firm was considered among the finest Russian jewelers and a pioneer of the national style in decorative arts. It earned numerous gold medals at Russian industrial exhibitions (1835–1865) and international recognition, including a gold medal and the Order of the Legion of Honor at the 1851 London and 1867 Paris World Exhibitions. Sazikov’s small-scale sculpture on Russian themes became especially celebrated.

After Ignaty’s death in 1868, the firm passed to his sons Sergei, Pavel, and Valentin, with branches in Moscow and St. Petersburg, until 1887, when it was sold to Ivan Khlebnikov’s firm. This spoon exemplifies the refined artistry and technical mastery that made Sazikov a leading name in Russian silver.

Imperial Glass Manufactory. Beaker with Stand and Cover
St Petersburg, 1830s. Dimensions:15 x 16,5 x 12,5 cm.
Amethyst glass, gilt bronze; cutting, casting, gilding; painted in gold and silver.
A cylindrical beaker of deep amethyst, or manganese, glass, mounted in an elaborate gilt-bronze stand with matching cover. The upper zone of the vessel is decorated with scrolling foliate cartouches executed in gold and silver enamel-like painting, while the lower part is articulated by broad vertical flutes (pilasters).
The gilt-bronze mount is conceived in the spirit of refined historicism and empire style.
Amethyst glass had long been esteemed for its rich, noble color. In nineteenth-century practice, its violet tonality was associated with the use of manganese, which, depending on concentration and firing conditions, could produce shades ranging from light lilac to an intense, almost black purple. In this example, the glassmaker achieved a particularly dense and velvety hue, further enriched by the brilliance of the gilded and silvered painted ornament.
Both by material refinement and by the sophistication of its mount, the piece belongs to the category of highly finished decorative glass intended for aristocratic interiors or for presentation use. Comparable works are preserved in major Russian museum collections, including the State Hermitage Museum and the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
