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.
