Part of the collection: Glass
Chalice – flute with the coat of arms of Poland The flute chalice was made around 1725 in a glass manufacture near Lubaczów called the Crystal Glassworks, founded in 1717 by Hetman Adam Mikołaj Sieniawski. He was married to Elżbieta Lubomirska, daughter of Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, the owner of Łańcut in 1699–1702. Objects from the nearby glassworks make up the most numerous group in the collection of Polish glass in Łańcut. It was one of the oldest Polish glass manufactures, which reached a very high European level in the production of its products. It was headed by Franciszek Fremel, a distinguished Saxon specialist brought to Poland in 1710 by Augustus II the Strong. The ironworks was in operation throughout the 18th century. It produced table glass and candlesticks. Among the various chalices, champagne flutes were characteristic, with a narrow and slender bowl on a baluster shaft and a round foot. The above chalice is made of thin glass, slightly pink in colour. It is a chalice with a round, large foot, slightly convex, with a multi-segmented baluster stem. The bowl is slender, conical, with a surface decorated with a dense facet cut (honeycomb pattern), with a row of vertical facets at the base. On the front of the bowl in the reserve medallion is a cartouche with the coat of arms of the Republic: Pogoń and Eagle, in the centre the Saxon coat of arms: crossed swords, decorated with palm branches, laurel branches, and small flowers. The foot is decorated with an engraved palm and laurel branch ornament. Barbara Trojnar
