In Focus: Harrach Cameo Drinking Glass
This fine cameo drinking glass was produced by Harrach in around 1895.
The Harrach glass factory was founded nearly 300 years ago in Harrachov, a small village situated in the mountains of northern Bohemia. The factory was established by Count Harrach in 1712 and it is one of the oldest glass factories still in operation.
Whilst the factory may be limited in size, Harrach glass works has been extremely influential: developing numerous innovative designs and techniques over the years. The factory was also responsible for producing glass blanks that were used by most of the major 19th century Bohemian glass houses: such as Moser, Fritz Heckert and Lobmeyr.
Harrach is also well known for reinterpreting techniques and designs originally produced by Stourbridge manufacturer Stevens & Williams, which is a common common cause of misidentifications amongst glass collectors.
This cameo drinking glass is only one of many outstanding pieces of glass featured in our
19th Century Glass Preview Gallery. When visiting the Preview Gallery you will also find various other examples of glass by different 19th century glassmakers, including Fritz Heckert, Stevens & Williams, Walsh Walsh and Moser.
You can view previous In Focus items for our 15 November 2009 glass fair in our In Focus Archive.
