Lot 58
A PAIR OF POTSDAM/ZECHLIN PRESENTATION WINE GLASSES c. 1734-41, for Marshall von Munnich, elaborately wheel engraved and gilded, of funnel shape, the armorial shields with quarters of swans and busts of monks centred with the double-headed eagle, the arms encircled by the Order of St. Andrew and surmounted by a coronet, flanked by Prussian eagles as supporters standing on military trophies, on tapering faceted stems and circular feet cut and gilded with scallops and flutes. 15.2cm and 15.6cmNote: the arms are of the German noble family Von Munnich, together with the Russian Order of St. Andrew. This identifies these as having been made for Burchard Christoph Graf von Munnich, a German-born Field Marshall and statesman.He entered the service of Augustus the Strong in 1716 and quickly became General Inspector or Polish troops and Commander of the Royal Guard. In 1721 he entered the service of Czar Peter the Great and under Peter II von Munnich became General of the Infantry. He was ennobled as a Russian count in 1728. Under Czarina Anna Ivanovna he was appointed Privy Councillor, Minister of War and in 1732, Field Marshall. He was awarded the Order of St. Andrew in 1734. His fortunes turned and, following the palace coup of 1741, he was exiled to Siberia by Czarina Elizabeth. There he remained for twenty years until rehabilitated by Peter III. He resumed high office and died in 1767 during the reign of Catherine the Great who commented at his death, "Even if he wasn't a Son of Russia, he was one of its Fathers".A Meissen porcelain service bearing the same arms was probably a gift to von Munnich from the Saxon Elector, Friedrich Augustus in gratitude for his role in the War of the Polish Succession (1733-38), which resulted in the Elector becoming Augustus III of Poland. While it is possible that these glasses were commissioned by Augustus III from a Saxon (Dresden) glass house, they follow Potsdam (Berlin) traditions and are more likely to have been a gift from Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia. One with shallow chip to the rim.One foot has probably been ground, which would explain the slightly difference in height.One foot rim with minute flea bite.Minor loss to gilded rims.In generally good condition, commensurate with age and use.
