AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large antique enamelled glass jug by Fritz Heckert Kunstglas Industrie, Petersdorf, Silesia (present-day Piechowice, Poland), dating from approximately 1880–1890.
Made from warm amber-brown glass and richly decorated with hand-painted polychrome enamel. The central scene depicts a Landsknecht in Renaissance-style dress holding a halberd and raising a drinking tankard. The figure is surrounded by an extensive hand-painted decoration of climbing leaves, vines and hops extending around the body of the jug.
A characteristic example of the German Historicism / Renaissance Revival tradition associated with Fritz Heckert’s early “Altdeutsch” glass production.
The underside bears the hand-painted Fritz Heckert mark and production/decorative numbers, appearing to read:
F.H.
281/4
754
The jug retains its large applied glass handle and distinctive shaped pouring rim.
An unusual and highly decorative example of late 19th-century Silesian art glass.
