About the Item

A rare early Victorian Harrach cameo vase in blue, cased on both sides with opaque white, and cut to blue on the outside to reveal a stylised decoration and a floral/botanical scene -highlighted in gilding. Generally Cameos were considered to have been invented by the Romans and then recreated by the British in the last quarter of the 19th century. The reality is Cameos were being produced in Bohemian much earlier than that -this Harrach vases dates to c1860 but they were making cameo as early as the 1840s. Harrach has been the backbone of Bohemian, and possibly European, glass for the last 300 years. It proudly celebrates its tri-centenary in 2012. Before Ludwig Moser was allowed to have his own Glassworks he, like almost everyone else in the region, bought his blanks from Harrach. In fact we will probably never know how much glass, supposedly made my other great glass makers of Europe, were in fact made and finished in the Harrach Glassworks. We do know that vast ranges of Legras was made by Harrach, probably under licence and possibly the majority of the glass we think of as Fratelli Tosso was also made by Harrach. British Glass historians have only just started to review 19th century English glass and reallocate many of the high points to Harrach. Sadly neglected over the years, Harrach made some of the greatest glass of the 19th and 20th century. Much of their production has, not surprisingly, been often been wrongly attributed.
