A LARGE J. & L. LOBMEYR TWO-HANDLED ENAMELED 'PERSIAN STYLE' AMBER-TINTED GLASS VASE

The present form is likely the largest in Lobmeyr's 'Persian Series' and its design is very similar to drawings by Rehländer in the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna. Rehländer is known for creating Orientalist interiors for his wealthy Viennese clientele, as well as his monumental architecture. For a further discussion and a nearly identical vase, see The Corning Museum of Glass, accession no. 2009.3.10; also see Sotheby's, London, 18 April 2007, lot 223 (£60,000); the present vase seems to be the largest of these three.
