Crystal goblet
by CHRISTIANSEN, Hans, Clear glass, gold paint
A characteristic feature of Hans Christiansen’s work was the “Christiansen rose”, as it became enduringly known in the sphere of Jugendstil. The rose motif can be found in every area of Christiansen’s art, which - instantly recognizable in its style and outstanding in its quality - made him a brilliant decorative artist to some, and to others, a shallow panderer to public taste.
