    A printy-cut oval box with gilt decoration, and a superbly-executed Schwarzlot-enamelled scene of a lady and gentleman on the lid (both the top and the underside of the lid are shown in the details above), which we believe to have been decorated in the workshop of Josef Lenhardt, possibly for Lobmeyr, although it does not bear the Lobmeyr mark

    A radium-green claret-jug with hand-enamelled hunting scenes, from the workshop of Anton Ambrosius Egermann (son of Friedrich Egermann) for the Viennese company Lobmeyr. Egermann was noted for his Historismus enamelled glassware, and only worked to commissions from Lobmeyr for a short time (1873 to 1878). As with all such pieces, the base of this one is enamelled with both the Egermann 'anchor with 3 stars' in white, and the Lobmeyr logo in blue (see detail at right)

    Our reference:8932 Date:1873-1878
    Manufacturer:Egermann Origin:Bohemia
    Dimensions:height 31 cm, weight 875 gm

    A most unusual inkwell/pen-holder, from about the middle of the 19th Century, and probably English. The interior is marbled blue, white and amethyst glass with included bubbles. it has then been massively cased in clear glass which has been heavily cut, with a leaf-shape at each corner. It is extremely heavy and therefore stable, as it would need to be to support a quill or dip-pen. The base is step-cut all around, and it may originally have fitted into a base of some sort. The pontil is ground and polished

    Our reference: 7794 Date: mid 19th Century
    Manufacturer: unknown Origin: probably
    English
    Dimensions:height 7 cm, weight 445 gm
    Condition: a few very minor chipples, but generally good
