Brockwitz - Freidrich Scheiner (attributed) - Bowl - Glass

Superb oval coupe in pressed glass produced by the Brockwitz glassworks, model listed in the 1941 catalog and often referred to as the 'serpent bowl' ('Fruchtschale mit Schlangenhenkeln'). This iconic piece perfectly illustrates the technical and decorative virtuosity of the German manufacturer, renowned throughout Europe for its precisely molded creations and the richness of its reliefs.

The cup rests on four small spherical feet that give it balance and lightness. Its body, with a harmonious oval shape, features a spectacular decoration: alternating vertical prisms, radiating flutes, and panels adorned with floral motifs and textured semi-circles, offering a refined play of transparency and light. The symmetrical composition, dominated by three prismatic panels on each longitudinal face, enhances the piece's rigor and elegance.

The handles in the shape of tritons or stylized snakes are the signature of this model. Finely detailed, they are covered with a relief of frosted glass scales, with a rounded head turned outward. This spectacular motif, both decorative and functional, reflects the late Art Deco taste found in Brockwitz's last productions before World War II.

The glass is transparent, with a slight yellow citron tint typical of the series from that era, giving the whole a warm glow. The condition is very good: no cracks or chips, only a few light signs of use, with no impact on the beauty or durability of the piece.

Founded in 1903 near Dresden, the Brockwitz glassworks became one of the most important pressed glass producers in Europe. Renowned for its lush decorations and sculptural shapes, it exported its creations extensively throughout Europe and South America. This 1941 model reflects the final period of the factory's grandeur before its decline after the war: a perfect example of German craftsmanship combining robustness, precision, and decorative imagination.
