Vase Golden ruby with gold ornament. Imperial Glass Factory, Russia, 1830-1840s

Vase Golden ruby with gold ornament. Imperial Glass Factory, Russia, 1830-1840s

A rare and exquisite example of Russian glassmaking from the era of Nicholas I, created by the masters of the Imperial Glass Factory. The vase is made of transparent colorless glass with an internal golden ruby color, achieving the depth of color due to the unique technology of coloring the glass mass with gold nanoparticles. The composition of the decor is verified to perfection: the body is decorated with painting in pure gold, executed with filigree precision. The central decoration is a medallion with an image of a basket filled with flowers and berries, enclosed in a frame of stylized laurel branches. This motif, symbolizing fertility and abundance, is complemented by thin plant garlands falling along the edges. The upper edge is decorated with a wide gold border, giving the item solemnity and nobility. Particular attention should be paid to the faceted base, emphasizing the play of light in the depths of the glass and enhancing the effect of precious radiance. Decorative elements on the base are accented with gilded inserts, emphasizing the exquisite plasticity of the form. Dimensions: Height: 12.7 cm. Diameter: 8.5 cm. Condition: In excellent condition, minimal signs of time. Gilding is in excellent condition, without losses.Historical background: Golden Ruby The technique of creating ruby glass goes back centuries, dating back to the late antique period. However, it was only in the 17th century that the German alchemist Johann Kunkel managed to develop a scientifically sound recipe that made it possible to consistently obtain a rich blood-red shade of glass. In Russia, the first to master the technology of coloring glass mass with gold nanoparticles was the great scientist Mikhail Lomonosov, thereby laying the foundations for the domestic production of ruby glass. By the beginning of the 19th century, the Imperial Glass Factory had reached the highest level of skill in working with this rare and complex technique. Fine ruby glass items decorated with gilded painting were considered objects of the highest prestige. They adorned the state rooms of imperial residences, becoming the embodiment of impeccable taste, refined style and outstanding artistic value.

Icon 12 principal Christian feastIn the central part of the icon is the Introduction to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows and Virgin Mary. In the center of the icon is the three-year-old Virgin Mary, who was brought to the temple by Her parents - Joachim and Anna. For a long time they were childless and took a vow: if the Lord gives them parental happiness, then they will devote the Infant to God. It was a sacrifice - to give their only, long-awaited child. The icon shows the fulfillment of a promise: Joachim and Anna bring little Mary to the temple, where the Jerusalem priest meets the family. According to Church Tradition, he was the righteous Zacharias, the future father of John the Baptist, therefore, on the icon, his head is surrounded by a halo. Behind the priest is the Holy Gates of Saints (a special place in the Jerusalem temple), where the main shrines of the Jewish people were stored in the ark.In the upper part is the icon of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.In the lower part of the Icon Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MaryIn the circle of the central part of the icon of saints: Tatiana, Sandra, Anna, Paul, Catherine, Mary Magdalene.Material: wood, gesso, tempera, Palekh, XIX century
