Pitcher No.7887 Arabian Series.
Design: Machytka & Schmoranz - 1877

As early as 1848/49, Ludwig Lobmeyr delivered chandeliers to the palace of the
Khedive in Cairo. Starting in the 1870s, a significant collection of valuable glass
objects was created, mainly in collaboration with architects and Orient experts Franz
and Gustav Schmoranz. Delightful, abstract patterns in colorful enamel painting and
gold were applied to the hand-blown, cut vases and plates.
In commemoration of an exhibition at the „Museum of Islamic Civilisation“ in
Sharjah/UAE 2015, a pitcher from the "Arabian Series" has been put back into
production. The design is by Machytka & Schmoranz in the year 1877. Inspired by
the form of an early Islamic metal pitcher, the decoration is a collage of different
Oriental patterns. It takes Lobmeyr's painter 40 hours and five firings to finish the
detailed enamel painting on the glass. The new pitcher is barely discernable from
the original and will bring its owners delight for just as long.

With its tradition of almost 200 years of glassmaking, Lobmeyr offers crystal stemware, accessories and lighting of uncommon elegance and refinement. The Lobmeyr family claims six generations of Austrian glassmakers, renowned for crafting brilliant chandeliers and flawless drinking sets. Every detail, from innovative design to expert glassmaking to precision engraving, is addressed with uncompromising dedication and vast experience.
