Hyalite Glass Flacon

pkversion — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 13:53:40 +0000

This fascinating Charles X-period “cathedral” flacon has the appearance of agate, but it is actually crafted of rare red hyalite glass. The sculpted vessel rests within a patinated and gilt bronze basilica-inspired stand decorated in an openwork, Gothic-style arcade, and it was retailed by the goldsmithing shop of Grandcher of Paris.

Hyalite glass was developed by Bohemian glassmaker Friedrich Egermann in the late 18th century in Haida; the artisen wanted to create glass that rivaled gemstones. He achieved this by applying a metal oxide to the surface of colorless glass in a process called “cementation,” which requires three firings and a high level of skill. Different oxides give the glass different colors, and the result impressively mimics the appearance of a semi-precious stone.

Label on base reads “Grandcher, au Petit Dunkerque, rue de Richelieu No. 91, au coin de celle Menars, a Paris”

Circa 1830

It consist of a gilded bronze pedestal base, adorned finely sculpted with foliage.The base supports the opaline which is decorated with banding, friezes of palmettes, a garland of blue flowers, and multicolored bouquets of roses. The vase is decorated with medallion depicting animal scene ( The fox and the goat. Livre III. Fable V ) whose subject is drawn from the Fables of La FontaineGood condition, slight wear to the gilding.The decor is done in the same style as Jean-Baptiste Desvignes.

By 1820, technological discoveries brought new features to opaline objects. During this time, Jean-Baptiste Desvignes found a way to paint on opaline crystal and glass. He used only vegetable-based colors that he affixed to the opaline crystal. The tones, always matte, were limited to dark blue and red. The gilding dominated, using forms of linear palmettes, flowers, and garland patterns. Desvignes decorated in Gothic style as well as created small, illustrative scenes inspired by the fables of La Fontaine, delicately colored in blue, soft green, ocher, purple, and gold or silver dots. The sets by Jean-Baptiste Desvignes ran from 1820 until approximately 1826. Afterward, his wife and his two collaborators, Vincent and Blancheron, continued using the same formulas and motifs to decorate opal that came primarily, it seems, from the Bercy crystal manufacturer, founded in 1827.
