Glass with views of St. Petersburg. Imperial Glass Factory. Russia, 19th century.
A rare museum glass made of colorless crystal, made at the Imperial Glass Factory in St. Petersburg in the first half of the 19th century. The product is an example of the highest quality of artistic glassmaking, corresponding to the standards of court life of the Russian Empire. The cylindrical body is installed on an elegant faceted leg and a wide round sole with a relief edge stylized as a pie crust - a characteristic feature of ceremonial glass of the 19th century. The upper part is decorated with a highly artistic engraving depicting the Alexander Column against the background of the General Staff Arch on Palace Square in St. Petersburg. The composition is framed with garlands and laurel branches - symbols of imperial glory. The engraving is made with exceptional finesse and precision, typical of gift and anniversary products of the Imperial Glass Factory. The lower part of the body is decorated with a deep diamond facet in the technique of the classic diamond pattern, giving the glass optical depth and a complex play of light. Due to the theme and level of execution, the glass was probably intended for representative needs, or was part of a ceremonial service made for formal receptions. Dimensions: Height: 13.2 cm, diameter of the upper part 7.8 cm, diameter of the lower part 7.6 cm. Materials: Colorless crystal, hand engraving, diamond grinding. Hallmarks: None (which is typical for a number of products of the factory before the beginning of the 20th century).

Бокал с видами Санкт-Петербурга. Императорский стекольный завод. Россия, XIX век.
Редкий музейный бокал из бесцветного хрусталя, изготовленный на Императорском стекольном заводе в Санкт-Петербурге во первой половине XIX века. Изделие представляет собой образец высочайшего качества художественного стеклоделия, соответствующий стандартам придворного быта Российской империи.Цилиндрический корпус установлен на изящной гранёной ножке и широкой круглой подошве с рельефным краем, стилизованным под «корочку пирога» — характерную черту парадного стекла XIX столетия. Верхняя часть украшена высокохудожественной гравировкой, изображающей Александровскую колонну на фоне арки Генерального штаба на Дворцовой площади Санкт-Петербурга. Композиция обрамлена гирляндами и лавровыми ветвями — символами имперской славы. Гравировка выполнена с исключительной тонкостью и точностью, характерной для подарочной и юбилейной продукции Императорского стекольного завода.Нижняя часть корпуса декорирована глубокой алмазной гранью в технике классического «бриллиантового» узора, придающей стеклу оптическую глубину и сложную световую игру. Благодаря тематике и уровню исполнения, бокал, вероятно, предназначался для представительских нужд, либо входил в состав парадного сервиза, изготовленного для торжественных приёмов.Размеры: Высота: 13.2 см, диаметр верхней части ,7,8 см, диаметр нижней части 7,6 см.Материалы: Бесцветный хрусталь, ручная гравировка, алмазная шлифовка.Клейма: Отсутствуют (что типично для ряда изделий завода до начала XX века).
