About the Item

A rare early Victorian Harrach scent bottle and stopper in ruby red cased with opaque white, both the body and stopper are cut to red leaving decorative opaque white panels which are enamelled and gilded -The body's white panels appear to depict leaves and are highlighted in blue enamel. The bottle is a classic long necked slender vessel with a flared eight sided top to the neck -the stopper is bulbous and is decorated in a similar matching pattern. Harrach made a large selection of perfume bottle in the mid 19th century and this is an exceptional example 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.
