WORKSHOP OF ANTON KOTHGASSER (1769-1851): A VIENNESE ENAMELLED AND GILT GLASS BEAKER the cogwheel type clear glass beaker circa 1820, of typical slightly waisted, flared form, with 'cogwheel' cut base, painted in polychrome enamels with a freize of decoration of two quivers of arrows with roses above a green rocky ground, tightropes suspended between the quivers each with a Cupid holding a bow and arrow balanced on the rope, with a wide gilt band below, the rim and base with gilt highlights, the underside cut with a radiating star motif stained in amber, 11cm high Footnote: For a very similar ranftbecher attributed to the workshop of Kothgasser, see Corning Museum of Glass, Inv. No. 91.3.93. The jewel-like quality of the luminous amber glass, detailed miniature painting and radiant gilt highlights of this Ranftbecher demonstrate why Viennese glass of this period is so highly prized.
