Pair of Russian Rython Vases
About the Item
A very decorative pair of Rython, also called Cornucopia vases from the first half of the 19th century, probably Russian. Red/pinkish cut glass vases with the ends mounted with gilt bronze ram heads who sits on white Carrara marble bases placed on patinated bronze bases in a an elaborate design.
A Rhyton is a roughly conical container from which fluids were intended to be drunk or to be poured in some ceremony such as libation, or merely at table; in other words, a cup. A rhyton is typically formed in the shape of either an animal's head or an animal horn; in the latter case it often terminates in the shape of an animal's body. Rhython vessels were produced over large areas of ancient Eurasia during the Bronze and Iron Ages, especially from Persia to the Balkans.
In classical antiquity, the Cornucopia, also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, or nuts. In Greek, it was called the "horn of Amalthea" after Amalthea, a nurse of Zeus, who is often part of stories of the horn's origin.

Located in New York, NY
While Napoleon's armies never conquered Russian, French taste did, and in a big way. This pair made at the Imperial Glass Workshop, under the Sponsorship of the Imperial Family would have been at home in a Paris drawing room as easily as in St. Petersburg.
The Intense Ruby Red color of the Crystal is created by adding large quantities of gold to the molten glass before the object is created. The resulting color is dense yet full of light just like its namesake the precious jewel. The Dore bronze mounts use motifs taken from antiquity.
