Catalogue Note
The production of enamelled glass in Saxony, made almost exclusively for the ducal courts began in the 17th century. The Archduchess Ann first ordered a group of enamelled glass around 1600; it was largely made for the Hofkellereien, the court cellars of the various residences belonging to the house of Saxony.
