About the Item

Very interesting and unique jar made of marble glass (stone glass). These pieces have always been appreciated for their interestingness. The jar is hand-cut and hand-painted with gold. The decor is in the chinoiserie style, a girl serves a man drinking tea. A very popular motif in the 19th century and earlier. Inside there is a hidden erotic decor on the bottom of the lid. The jar was probably used for tea or tobacco. The jar is in perfect condition, only the gold is slightly worn from age.

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...
