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)

The first of two late 19th Century hand-enamelled beakers from the Fritz Heckert studio. This sort of 'Historismus' glassware was extremely fashionable in Germany in the 19th Century, rather as the legend of King Arthur and the Round Table was in England. This one is marked 'Titke von Möllendorf, 1594' with an elaborate coat-of-arms. Sometimes the pieces were reproductions of genuine old glassware, sometimes they were only loosely based on pieces from the period. Although there was no intent to deceive, the studio has even applied a thin enamel wash to the interior, and tried to make the gilding look distressed, so as to give the beaker a more authentic 'aged' look. The base is signed 'FH.', '420/1' and 'J25' in white enamel, in typical Heckert fashion

The second of two late 19th Century hand-enamelled beakers from the Fritz Heckert studio. This one is very similar in execution, with the same 'distressed' gilding and 'aged' enamel wash, but is marked 'COM:ET:BAR:DE.ROGENDORF, 1634' with an even more elaborate coat-of-arms. The base is signed 'FH.' in white enamel, as before. However, a sliver of glass from the cracked-off pontil has been lost, so that the shape and pattern numbers now say '20/1' and '16', whereas we believe they would have said '420/1' and 'J16'

A handsome late 19th Century Josephinenhütte vase, the gold-lustred body almost 'mosque-lamp'-shaped, with three applied rope-twist handles. The body has three hand-gilded sections, divided by the handles - one rococo and two with floral decoration, and the rope-twists of the handles are highlighted with gilt lines

A wonderful late 19th Century Venetian bowl, very much inspired by glassware from the late 15th or early 16th Centuries, if not actually a copy of a piece from that period. It is in opalescent girasol glass, the bowl with gilded 'rigaree' trail around the bottom, supported on a hollow pedestal foot with 'mezza stampaura' ribbing and folded rim. Our first thought was that it was by Salviati, but the enamelled and graffito gold-leaf decoration is more typical of the Compagnia di Venezia e Murano
