Beaker 1825 - 1835

This dark, opaque glass beaker, created by Joseph Wenzel Zick between 1825 and 1835, is a stunning example of 19th-century Bohemian glassmaking. Its simple yet elegant form is accentuated by the intricate, hand-cut design, featuring a series of rounded, vertical panels that extend from the base to the rim. The beaker’s deep black hue further enhances its striking visual appeal, making it a standout piece from the era. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Beaker stands as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of its creator.
