This just arrived today . It is a Fredrick Egermann Hyalith / Lithyalin glass vase made to look like agate.Some times these get sold as Imperial Peking Glass.
I have after 2 extra years decided that this is indeed a VERY RARE 19THC CHINESE QING DYNASTY MARBLED REALGAR PEKING GLASS MEIPING VASE.
I have since handled (owned ) and seen Egermann Hyalith / Lithyalin pieces and this does differ in weight and shape and construction .

YAHOO!
You should be as happy as Larry Foley!
LOL!
Congratulations and have one on me. It looks the business, mate.
It is , just a wash and it is shiny as new and perfect not a chip anywhere . I can see why people think of these as Chinese , the shape and the glass itself.

Hi Claretjugcollector ,
I am totally blown away by your collection !!! and have only seen one page!!
I can see similarities to the 2 pieces I have and most I have seen tends to have streeks resembleing viens in stone . I still think this is Lithyalin / Hyalith glass .
Is the Decanter a Fredrich Alder design ? or perhaps AlbinMuller? I'm just guessing about that.
I am in love with it the more I look at it .
will think on it more tomorrow when my mind it hopefully fresher
hi - thx a lot :-) you collecting is a hard job .. i got this one recently from an german auction house and today i found your site with definitely the same kind of glass.. possibly its french or german .. anyway . the mounting is french silver .. and it s a very heavy thick piece and by the way : your collection is stunning !!!
Hi Claretjugcollector , This type of glass was made (copied ) in France and Germany as well as Bohemia . It was first produced at the glass works of count Georg Buquoy arround 1817. Friedrich Egerman purchased glass from Buquoy and developed his Lithyalin glass from it.
Your jug displays design element I associate with German Jugendstil as opposed to those of the Nancy / French school of Art Nouveau.
I'd love to handle it so I could learn the differance in the glass from mine .
( My wife just added that i should ask you if you need a curator ... she'd do anything to get me a job!! especially I we got to live in Europe. )
Are you based in Austria ?
hallo aus Österreich :-)
i am based in austria , near Vienna and you are absolutely right about the jug .. it must have been made around 1899/1900, agreed on French art Nouveau as well ..and last but not least : I am in urgent need of a good curator :-)
EEK! My bags are packed ....I have the tickets ....I'm out the door!!!
Back to reality...
Shame I am not going to go to Vienna this time , will be in Europe for a holiday in 6 weeks . Looking at Nancy ( for Nouveau ) ; a bit of the glass road Bavaria / Czech rep; Darmstadt for Jungenstil ; Amsterdam; Delft and Belgium for more art etc .. Not to mention Beer wine food.
Can you back me into your bag.....Pleeeeease!?...:-)
In my scramble to be ready!!.. back, means pack....:0)
Destinations of the trip are fantastic ! nancy great !! darmstadt ( i ve been there last year - amazing - especially the little museum - hot stuff !! architecture is a dream !! Belgium ( the beer is amazing as well ).. next time you make austria as well :-) ( Vienna : Lobmeyr Museum , etc etc )
Hi Inky , I do have a large bag that you could fit in!
Went to Vienna a few years ago missed the Museum, just did a few touristy things . Succession House , Strauss concert ; beer and schnitzle walking trams the Third man ferris wheel ... more beer and schnitzel.

i am definitely not an expert in chinese glass... and i haven´t handled it but i could imagine you are right by saying it doesn´t look 100 % bohemian !!
Hi Claret jug collector . I was reluctant to change attribution as I collect Bohemian but after looking at so many others had to face the truth that this is about the same age or earlier and Chinese. Highly desireable.
I think of your collection and see pieces but none are up to your standards.
