ROYAL IMPERIAL GLASS MANUFACTURE of Saint Petersburg, attributed to Pair of amethyst-colored crystal pot-pourris vases with diamond-cut tips and two handles. Mounted in chased, gilded and openwork bronze with foliate decoration. On a circular base. Late 18th, early 19th century. Height: 13 cm (restorations, knocks) Bibliography. Nina Birjukowa, Applied Arts in the Hermitage, Leningrad 1986, pp. 289/290. Note. In Russia, glassmaking enjoyed a period of great influence between the second half of the XVIIIᵉ century and the XIXᵉ century, notably under the impetus of the Imperial Manufactory of St. Petersburg. Our pair of vases testifies to the technical mastery and imagination of the designers of the period: the use of tinted glass, in an amethyst shade and complemented by neoclassically inspired gilt bronze decoration, is typical of Russian production. Most of the pieces produced by the factory were destined for the imperial residences, but some could also be used as diplomatic gifts.
