Hyalite Glass Flacon
About the Item
This fascinating Charles X-period “cathedral” flacon has the appearance of agate, but it is actually crafted of rare red hyalite glass. The sculpted vessel rests within a patinated and gilt bronze basilica-inspired stand decorated in an openwork, Gothic-style arcade, and it was retailed by the goldsmithing shop of Grandcher of Paris.
Hyalite glass was developed by Bohemian glassmaker Friedrich Egermann in the late 18th century in Haida; the artisen wanted to create glass that rivaled gemstones. He achieved this by applying a metal oxide to the surface of colorless glass in a process called “cementation,” which requires three firings and a high level of skill. Different oxides give the glass different colors, and the result impressively mimics the appearance of a semi-precious stone.
Label on base reads "Grandcher, au Petit Dunkerque, rue de Richelieu No. 91, au coin de celle Menars, a Paris"

Michael Bang (1942-2013)
Current And Advanced Glassmaking Art
Michael Bang (1942-2013) was the son of Jacob E. Bang, Holmegaard's first
designer. In the 1960s and 1970s, Michael Bang was a designer at the Odense
Glass Factory, but moved with his family to Holmegaard in the 1980s when he
joined the Holmegaard Glass Factory. Here he managed the design of the
mouth-blown lamps in opal-white glass in which the glass factory
specialised.
Michael Bang was quick-witted, fascinating and fun and able to spellbind an
audience when the glass factory organised talks and presentations.
Many of his products have now become collector's items. Holmegaard carries
his vases and flower pot covers in the MB range (1981), the Mandarin lamp...
