This red lacquered goblet, created by German artist Johann Jacob Irminger between 1710 and 1713, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Baroque period. The goblet's elegant form, with its bulbous base and tall, slender body, culminates in a distinctive onion-shaped lid, showcasing Irminger's skilled use of lacquer. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring artistry of the Baroque era and the intricate techniques of the time.
Comments
In his quest for the manufacture of white porcelain, Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719), the director of the Meissen factories near Dresden, searched other high fired, semi-vitreous wares, including finely-grained red Chinese stoneware. This clay body, which was known as Yixing ware, was produced since the sixteenth century at potteries located west of Shanghai. At the Meissen factories, this highly refined red stoneware was turned and polished by glass engravers who were brought to the workshops in 1708. This ware was only made from 1708 until about 1719, the year of Böttger's death.
