About the Item

Impressive Fritz Heckert Box and Cover in the famous Jodhpur range, it has fine polychrome translucent enamelling and gilded (Green, Yellow, White, Pink and Blue). Initially the Jodhpur made exclusively for the newly opened Islamic market but later became popular in the western markets too. Similar pieces are featured in the Fritz Heckert book (p112) and it is one of the earliest designs of the Jodhpur range. This box comes in a number sizes and this example is quite a bit larger than similar examples we've seen Fritz Heckert produced probably the best enamelling work of any German glass house. They produced until 1923 when they were taken over by Josephenhutte -a neighbouring glass works that had previously supplied them with blanks

Victorian Bohemian Harrach Enamel Glass Potpurri Holder with Metal Fitments
By Harrach Glassworks
Located in Worcester Park, GB
Unusual enamelled and gilded Victorian Harrach Potpurri holder with original white metal feet and collar with detachable pierced lid and separate two part inner filter made c1890. With an opaque cream base, it is enamelled with green gilded bands and floral decoration. The container inner lid allows the contents to be closed off, partly closed off or left fully open, ensuring the fragrance is released into the room when only when desired. 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...

Large Anglo Indian Mosaic Inlaid Jewelry Hexagonal Box 1950s
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Large Anglo Indian Moorish Islamic style micro mosaic inlaid jewelry box with lid. Intricate inlaid Anglo Persian box with floral and geometric Moorish Sadeli design in an hexagonal shape form with micro mosaic marquetry, very fine artwork. Museum collector piece like the one in Doris Duke Islamic Art Museum. The repeating geometric patterns of Sadeli Mosaic are what give it beauty and richness. This decorative technique is a type of micro mosaic featuring repeating geometric patterns. Dimensions: H: 5 in : 12 in W x 12 in. D. Circa 1950s. Sadeli mosaic art is a highly skilled craft, it has had a long history in India and the Middle East with early examples dating back to the 16th century. In the 1800s, it became popular as a decoration on a variety of boxes, card cases, and chess boards imported from India. Since Bombay became a center of making them, they became known as Bombay boxes. The ancient art of Sadeli Mosaic is said to have been introduced from Shiraz in Persia via Sind to Bombay, a long time before Indian boxes appeared. The designs on early boxes look deceptively simple. The fact is they emerged from a culture which had mastered geometry and understood how to generate a pattern from a set number of points. The patterns are so harmoniously combined that their incredible complexity isn’t immediately apparent to the viewer. Will look great in a Moroccan decor...
