‡ A LARGE RUSSIAN 'GOLDEN RUBY' GLASS TAZZA, PROBABLY IMPERIAL GLASS FACTORY, ST PETERSBURG, CIRCA 1830 the deep red laid over clear glass, the bowl with overturned shaped rim and secured to the bulged stem and faceted foot with a gilt-bronze rosette, with gilt borders and bands of scrolling foliage, 29cm high Making ‘Golden Ruby’ glass at this period was an expensive and difficult process, requiring the precipitation of gold and other salts in the glass to produce the gem-like colour. An appraisal of the tazza carried out for the vendor’s parents at the Tsaritsyno Museum by T.D. Karyakina in 1998 proposes that: ‘It is highly probable that the vase was made at the Imperial Glass Factory, as the manufacture of large-scale glass objects was only possible for a very advanced production facility.’
