Harrach Cased Glass Dish Decorated with Birds in Branches c1890

About the Item

Very unusual white cased over vibrant red Harrach enamelled and gilded serving dish or small tray shaped like a Scallop shell. Enamelled and gilded with fine branches and birds. The White layer is cased below with a bright red layer making a powerful image. -there is some loss to the gilding and enamelling but minor considering it's age Harrach has been the backbone of Bohemian, and possibly European, glass for the last 300 years. It proudly celebrated 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 including Emile Galle. 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.
