"Hunter and shepherdess"

Uit de verzameling van Paulo Vik Falcon

An antique glass beer mug made using the technology of blowing glass into a mold. This is evidenced by the way the handle is made and attached. It is made separately and then welded hot to the body of the mug. This is only done when working with blown glass, not pressed glass. This fact adds to the value of the mug, as blown glass technology is considered a handicraft, unlike the technology of casting glass into a mold. The absence of a capacity mark on the mug suggests that it was made before 1872. The marking of capacity became mandatory for mug manufacturers after the Imperial Law on the Unified System of Weights, Capacities, and Metric Systems came into effect in Germany on January 1, 1872.
The inlaid lid features a hand-painted lyrical design featuring a traditional Tyrolean couple from the mountainous countryside, a hunter and a shepherdess.
The glass part of the mug is made by the F.X. Nachtmann manufactory, one of the most successful glass-blowing factories in Bavaria since the mid-19th century. The company was founded in 1834 by the glassmaker Johann Michael Nachtmann (1796-1884) in Unterhütte (Glaschütte-Herzogau) near Waldmünchen. He and 25 glassblowers produced beer mugs, drinking glasses, bottles, and jugs. His son, Franz Xaver Nachtmann (1830-1892), took over the business in 1851 and moved it to Edhütte (now Voitenberghütte) between Waldmünchner and Fürth im Wald. In 1866, the production moved to Seebachhütte near Bayerisch Eisenstein with 45 employees. In 1892, Johann Frank (1856-1905) took over the management of the business, retaining the established name F.X. Nachtmann. The company still operates under this name today.
