Description

Exhibited at Paris 1878 by J. & L. Lobmeyr, Vienna.:

"The Messrs. Lobmeyr have also attempted the manufacture of enamel decorated ware in the Arabian style.

The accompanying illustration (Plate 17) represents a few of the styles exhibited. Although the workmanship is good and well executed as an imitation of original Arabic wares, yet the general effect produced by the combination of peculiarly colored glass and the profuse ornamentation is somewhat garish."
