Flagon with medal of John Huss 19th century

This 19th-century glass flagon, crafted by Michael Hohenauer (1500-1560), showcases a rich, dark-red hue, with a silver lid adorned with a lion finial and intricate detailing. It is a fine example of Renaissance-era glassmaking and decorative arts, featuring a combination of functional and artistic elements. The flagon's silver mountings add a touch of luxury and sophistication, while the deep color suggests a vessel meant for holding and serving beverages. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this flagon stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the 16th century.
