(2)Footnotes:A similar pair of silver mounted ruby glass tazzas from the wedding dowry service of Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna (the sister of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna) by Carl Tegelsten, St Peterburg 1844, were sold at Sotheby's London on 9th June 2010 in the 'Russian Works of Art, Fabergé and Icons' auction, Lot 574.ProvenanceFrom the wedding dowry service ordered by Tsar Nicholas I for his daughter, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, the future Queen Olga of Württemberg (1822-1892).HistoryGrand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna (1822-1892) was the second daughter of Tsar Nicholas I (1796-1855) and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna (1798-1860), born Charlotte of Prussia. Olga grew up as part of a close family of eight sisters and brothers. She had two elder siblings: Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Grand Duchess Maria of Russia, and five younger siblings: Grand Duchess Alexandra of Russia, Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia (died in infancy), Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia and Grand Duke Michael of Russia. Attractive, cultured and intelligent, she was considered to be one of the most eligible princesses in Europe. She spoke several languages, and was fond of music and painting. Olga met Crown Prince Charles of Württemberg in early 1846 in Palermo, and their subsequent marriage was a political and dynastic decision rather than a love match. As an overt indicator of wealth and status, the sumptuous wedding dowry from Olga's father the Tsar included furs, furniture sets, carriages, porcelain, bed linen, glass, jewellery and an expansive silver service. These two dessert tazzas came from what was known as the 'Golden Ruby' dessert service, which included a large suite of Russian ruby glass from the Imperial Russian Glass Manufactory. This bespoke service included dessert plates and glasses, plus various silver mounted serving dishes. The Tsar was so impressed by this striking service that he ordered an almost identical set for his other daughter's wedding dowry, the Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna, which may be seen today in the Schloss Fasanerie Museum in Eichenzell near Fulda in Germany ('Die Mitgift einer Zarentochter' Exhibition Catalogue 1997/98).Tsar Nicholas I insisted that everything created for Olga's dowry (and also those of his other two daughters) was to be in the 'latest English fashion, particularly beautiful and fine' (M. N. Lopato, 'Iuveliery starogo Peterburga', St Petersburg, 2006, p. 128). The service commissioned by the Emperor for Olga included almost five hundred silver items, and the responsibility to fulfil this order fell to the main supplier of silver and bronzes in St Petersburg, the renowned English retailer 'Nicholls and Plincke'. Charles Nicholls and William Plincke (in Russian: Николс и Плинке) were two English men trading in St Petersburg who were granted Russian citizenship in 1804. They were elevated to Merchants of the 1st Guild in 1808 and began trading to capitalise on an increased interest in English products in the first half of the 19th Century, at first importing things from England, but also retailing items made in the workshops of Russian craftsmen. Around 1815 they took over a business founded by their fellow countryman John Pickersgill (1765-1841), which was renamed 'William Plincke's English Shop'. In 1829 they established 'Messrs. Nicholls and Plincke's Magasin Anglais' which supplied luxury goods to the Russian market. 'Magasin Anglais' subsequently became one of the most celebrated shops in Russia and was considered the leading retailer of luxury goods to the aristocracy, with a virtual monopoly in the supply of artistic silverware to the Imperial Court (before eventually being supplanted by Carl Fabergé).The silversmith Carl Johan Tegelsten, of Finnish descent, moved to St Petersburg in 1817. He built up a prosperous business during the next thirty-five years, supplying work to some of the city's best retail houses. Tegelsten's longtime connection with 'Nicholls and Plincke' is of particular interest as he produced for them a range of pieces in the then fashionable English taste, of which this pair of tazzas are a striking example, characterised by rococo motifs and naturalistic foliage.When Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia married Crown Prince Charles of Württemberg (1823-1891) on 13th July 1846 at the Peterhof Palace near St. Petersburg, a grand celebration was held at the Tsar's summer palace, and the extensive dowry was then taken by the newlyweds to Württemberg in Germany. They resided in both the Villa Berg in Stuttgart and the Kloster Hofen in Friedrichshafen, located on the shore of Lake Constance in southern Germany. In 1864, Karl acceded the throne and became the third King of Württemberg, making Olga its Queen. When her husband died on 6 October 1891, Olga became Queen Dowager of Württemberg. She died one year later, on 30 October 1892 in Friedrichshafen aged 70, and was buried in the crypt of the Old Castle in Stuttgart.At the beginning of the 20th century, with the turbulence in Russia, the Grand Duchess Olga's extravagant service was distributed amongst various museums and private collections. Today, nineteen pieces of the original silver service are kept in the storeroom of the Peterhof State Museum, and other pieces are exhibited in the Fabergé Museum in St Petersburg. Few silver items from the Grand Duchess's dowry are still in private hands, but some pieces have been sold at auction over the years, including an impressive tureen from the Van Cliburn Collection that was previously acquired in Vienna in the 1960s (Christie's New York, 17 May 2012, 'The Van Cliburn Collection', lot 21). As such, this pair of silver mounted ruby glass dessert tazzas, steeped in Imperial Russian history, are a rarity to appear on the open market.LiteratureJohn Culme, 'Marks, Fine Antique Silver', (London: A.

It was a true 'passion' project, showcasing Wager's belief that fine Baroque style craftmanship can still be created today. His imagination and skill were let loose, for once free of the normal time and commercial constraints that ordinarily govern our lives. This elaborate masterpiece therefore took Wager over 500 hours to produce, and was a gift to himself - a culmination of all his years of training, with his prowess embodied in one magnificent piece of workmanship that ordinarily would not have been created. So who is the person behind this inspired achievement? Steve Wager has over 40 years' experience as a Goldsmith / Silversmith and Jeweller. At the age of 12 he began learning his craft, an opportunity initially provided by an after school club in East London, inspirationally taught by a Huguenot silversmith named Keith Tjaden. Wager discovered his artistic vocation and subsequently went on to further study at the 'St John Cass School of Art'. Afterwards, to hone his skillset further, Wager committed to a five-year apprenticeship with Algernon Asprey; he had the rare honour of being the only apprentice banded to a member of the Asprey family. He worked for over 25 years with the Asprey family in Bond Street, where he mastered a wealth of experience in chasing, box making, forging, hammering, raising and mounting. On leaving Asprey's, Steve Wager established his own company 'S.E.W. Ltd', which was set up in 2003. Wager is a Freeman of the City of London and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, and is also a Fellow of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths and the Society of Designer Craftsmen. As such, Wager has been the craftsman behind such prestigious projects as the Cricket World Cup, the Ryder Cup, trophies for the Royal Ascot races and League Cup, and carried out repairs to the FA Cup. He has also created commissions for H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family; the Sultans of Brunei and Oman, amongst other prominent clients. His work over the years has mostly consisted of one-off pieces for private clients, which are rarely seen or published. He often cites that his work is 'a calling not a job'. Wager has lovingly hand worked this piece, using the same skills and tools that would have been used over the passing centuries. This 'Poseidon Loving Cup' is therefore truly a 'one off', representing Steve Wager's passion for his 'calling' to a craft he has dedicated his life's work to.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
