Enameled glass bowl

Description

Enameled glass bowl. Item 4572.This very attractive and good quality glass bowl has been decorated with enameling and wheel cutting and is probably the work of Adolf Beckert (1884-1929). Beckert worked for a number of glass factories and was at one time art director at Loetz. The back of the bowl has been decorated with the figures in black and then a yellow ground applied to give it depth. The base has been wheel engraved to make the very fine intricate geometric pattern. It measures 288 mm (11 3/8 inches) in diameter and stands 42 mm (1.65 inches) high. There are some very faint scratches to the back, but they are not particularly noticeable. It dates from around 1915-20.
