Flute

Part of the collection: Glass

Popularization note

Flute cup made in the years 1720–1730 in a glass manufacture near Lubaczów called the Huta Kryształowa (Crystal Glassworks), founded in 1717 by hetman Adam Mikołaj Sieniawski, who was married to Elżbieta Lubomirska, daughter of Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, the owner of Łańcut in the years 1699–1702. The collection of Polish glass kept in Łańcut is actually dominated by the objects from this glassworks, located in the close vicinity. It was one of the oldest Polish glass manufactures, which reached a very high, European level on what concerned the quality of its products. It was headed by Franciszek Fremel, a distinguished Saxon specialist brought to Poland in 1710 by Augustus II the Saxon. The manufacture was in operation throughout the 18th century. It produced tableware and candlesticks. Among the cheering cups, champagne flutes were the most characteristic due to their narrow and slender bowl set on a baluster shaft and a round foot. The above cup is made of thick, colourless glass. It has considerable size, with a large, round, flat foot, a baluster-shaped, protruding shaft, with a slender, conical bowl distended at the base. The lower part of the bowl and the shaft are faceted in the shape of a honeycomb. Barbara Trojnar
