Large Pair of Lidded Vases in cut glass, Bohemia, circa 1790

About the Item

An outstanding pair of covered vases, or Deckelpokals, in blown glass with wheel-cur engraving. Bohemia at this time was the centre of elaborate but exceptionally fine glass cutting, and this pair shows us the industry at its height, before the start of the decline in the 19th century. These vases stand as enduring examples of Bohemia’s rich heritage in glassmaking. The beauty and craftsmanship of this type of work continue to be admired, reflecting the region’s historical significance in the world of decorative arts. To own such a pair of vases is to own a piece of 18th-century European history, where each cut and engraved detail tells a story of artistic dedication and cultural grandeur. This pair of 18th-century Bohemian cut-glass vases exemplifies the highest standards of beauty and technique, making them a prized addition to any discerning collection.

Pair of Pattern 1166 Vases, Spode, C1820
By Spode
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
Pair of vases in the ancient Greek shape known as Kanteros, decorated with pattern 1166. A stunning pair, in excellent condition. The flower painting on these vases is exceptional, even for the Regency period, when English flower painting was at its height. The Kantharos shape is a type of ancient Greek vase that was used for drinking wine. It was named after the word "kantharos," which was used to describe a type of two-handled cup in ancient Greece. The Kantharos shape is characterized by a large bowl, small base, and two wide handles that rise up from the sides of the bowl and curve upwards towards the rim. The shape was used primarily for drinking wine at symposia, or social gatherings, and was also used in religious ceremonies. Kantharos vases were produced in a variety of materials, including clay, bronze, and silver, and were decorated with a range of motifs, including mythical scenes, animal figures, and floral designs. They were often used to serve wine, but were also used to hold other liquids such as oil or water. The Kantharos shape was widely used throughout the ancient world, and examples have been found in archaeological sites from Greece to Italy to Asia Minor. It is considered a classic example of ancient Greek pottery and is an important part of the history of Greek...
