Magnificent crystal and silver wine jug. Brahmfeld & Gutruf. Germany, 19th century.

Magnificent crystal wine jug from the second half of the 19th century. The silver upper part of the decanter is decorated with an impressive relief image of mythological characters. The central place in the composition is occupied by the figure of Poseidon with a trident in his hands, symbolizing power and might. The handle of the decanter is made in the form of a winged dragon, which not only gives the product artistic expressiveness, but also performs a functional role - through the mechanism for opening the lid, masterfully hidden in silver. The body of the decanter is decorated with voluminous mascarons - stylized faces surrounded by elegant plant decor. The grapevine entwining the surface of the piece emphasizes its wine theme and adds a touch of symbolism associated with fertility and abundance. Hallmarks: city hallmark, letters BG, belonging to the famous Hamburg jeweler Bramfeld & Gutruff, which confirms its high quality and exceptional origin. Silver, gilding, crystal. Dimensions: height 36 cm. Germany, Hamburg, 2nd half of the 19th century. Provenance: Private family collection Michahelles collection, Hamburg. See Schliemann, issue II, p. 481, no. 568.

The southern German city of Hanau was famous in the second half of the 18th century as one of the main centres for the production of small jewellery items (Galanteriewaren), the quality of which was so high that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe noted that it was superior to the quality of items created in Geneva or Paris at that time.

Icon of the Lord Pantocrator in a gilded silver frame with enamels. Russia. Moscow, 1891
