Description
The glass beaker takes a cylindrical shape and features a continuous enamelled decorative panel around its body. The panel depicts a landscape scene of the Burgtheater, or the Austrian National Theatre, in Vienna. The foreground of the scene shows couples in period dress standing on the hillside. There are detailed gilded decorations around the panel and the rim of the glass, and there is an inscription below the panel, reading 'Die K. K. Burg in Wien' (translating as 'The Burgtheater in Vienna'). The design for the glass takes after a glass decorated by Anton Kothgasser (Austrian, 1769-1851), a prominent glass painter. The beaker is set on a gilded cut glass base.
