Golden Age Enameled Dokkum, Glass Motiv Goblet

About the Item

Dokkum-Glass motiv after East Frisia work in the style of a 17th century Glass The history of East Frisia developed rather independently from the rest of Germany because the region was relatively isolated for centuries by large stretches of bog to the south, while at the same time its people were oriented towards the sea. Thus in East Frisia in the middle Ages there was little feudalism, instead a system of fellowship under the so-called Friesian Freedom emerged. It was not until 1464, that the House of Cirksena was enfeoffed with the Imperial County of East Frisia. Nevertheless absolutism had been, and continued to be, unknown in East Frisia. In the two centuries after about 1500, the influence of the Netherlands is discernable - politically, economically and culturally. In 1744, the county lost its independence within the Holy Roman Empire and became part of Prussia. Following the Vienna Congress of 1815, it was transferred to the Kingdom of Hanover, in 1866 it went back to Prussia and, from 1946, it has been part of the German state of Lower Saxony. In Germany toward the end of the 17th century a reaction to Venetian glass styles seems to have set in. In that country there had been a continuous survival, probably from late Roman times, of a local type of green glass, a product of forest glasshouses made with potash obtained by burning forest vegetation and called therefore Waldglas (“forest glass”). From this material, often of great beauty of color, were made shapes peculiar to Germany, notably a cylindrical beer glass studded with projecting bosses, or prunts (Krautstrunk, or “cabbage stalk”), and a wineglass (Römer) with cup-shaped or ovoid bowl set on a similarly prunted hollow stem. This became the classic German shape of wineglass, which survived into the 18th century and, with modifications, to the present day. Apart from these indigenous forms, German glass in Venetian-type cristallo developed local characteristics of its own in the latter part of the 17th century. In Nürnberg, for instance, the tall-stemmed Italianate goblet underwent a transformation into a severe glass with stem composed of no more than a baluster-shaped element and a bulb, which were joined together by a number of disk-shaped elements, or mereses, and attached to foot and bowl by the same means. Such goblets display some of the most accomplished glass engraving that has ever been practiced. Golden Age Enameled Dokkum, Glass Motiv Goblet
