SILVER CLOISONNÉ-ENAMELLED TEA GLASS HOLDER. FYODOR RUCKERT RUSSIA, MOSCOW, TURN OF THE 19TH – 20TH CENTURY

An exquisite silver tea glass holder executed in the cloisonné enamel technique, representing a characteristic and highly accomplished example of the Moscow workshop of Fyodor Ruckert and standing as a benchmark of Russian jewellery art at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The cylindrical body is adorned with a complex polychrome composition of polylobed medallions featuring stylised geometric and foliate motifs on a cream ground, punctuated by translucent red enamel accents. The ornamentation is further enriched by elegant scrolling flowers and foliage on a sky-blue enamelled background, forming a dense and rhythmically balanced decorative surface.

The stepped foot is decorated with a band of polychrome cloisonné enamel forming a foliate frieze on a cobalt-blue ground, enhancing the architectural clarity and completeness of the form. The handle, of complex polylobed profile, is fully enamelled in cloisonné and executed en suite with the body. The interior is gilded, in accordance with the highest aesthetic and practical standards of Moscow silver workshops of the period.
