Catalogue Note
Gottlob Samuel Mohn (1789-1825) worked alongside his father, also called Samuel, until he left Dresden to establish a glass decorating workshop in Vienna in May 1811.
A signed beaker with a very similar border pattern is in the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin (Staatliches Museen, Preußischer Kulturbesitz), illustrated by Walter Spiegl, Biedermeier-Gläser, p.148, pl.170.
For an illustration of this beaker see P. von Lichtenberg, Mohn & Kothgasser, pl. 34
