Glass c. 1765 - 1770

This 18th-century glass, created by the Kaiserliche Porzellanmanufaktur, is a fine example of European glassmaking. The glass is a simple, clear form with a delicate, white lace design around the rim. It is decorated with a thin band of gold at the top, which adds a touch of elegance. The piece is small, measuring just 9.5 cm in height and 7.5 cm in diameter, suggesting it was intended for personal use. The intricate lace design was likely achieved using a technique called "engraving," where a sharp tool is used to cut into the surface of the glass, creating a raised pattern. This glass is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Kaiserliche Porzellanmanufaktur during the Rococo period, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and delicate ornamentation.
