"Large Royal Ceremonial Flute In Bohemian Crystal From The End Of The 19th Century"
In the Sudeten mountains, in Silesia, was created in 1842, by Leopold Von Schaffgotsch a crystal factory which took the name of his wife, JOSÉPHINE HÛTTE; The glassmaker Franz Pohl was responsible for this in the middle of the century when Bohemian crystal, engraved on the wheel, shone on all tables and in all bourgeois interiors in Europe. This commemorative coin presents a royal crown then a JBR monogram and the number 113, all inscriptions in gold letters remaining indecipherable, except for their authors and sponsors ... who have disappeared; The drinker, the top of the base and the chalice constitute the decoration, the hexagonal sides of the stem and the underside of the base are engraved with the wheel; Seven air bubbles remain trapped at the level of the parison. Work with a "royal" destiny in the manner of a champagne flute, carried out, as the calligraphy of the monogram attests, at the end of the 19th century. Intact in all points.
