Product Description
Brass copper cup holder "Znak svaroga"
Cup holders appeared in Russian everyday life at the beginning of the 20th century, when porcelain and faience were abandoned in favor of glass in the manufacture of tableware. To prevent the hot glass from burning your hands, it was placed in a metal cup holder with a handle.
Initially, the cup holders served as a simple glass holder. They meant simplicity and convenience, since the glass itself is fragile, but very cheap, and the metal stand is strong and durable. But after a while they began to be decorated - the artistic execution of casting and forging was introduced. This is due to the appearance of glass holders on holiday tables.
The shapes of the cup holders were varied. In the middle of the 19th century, neo-rococo and neoclassicism motifs prevailed in the
design of the body (case) and the handle. Since the 1870s, in accordance with the aesthetics of the "Russian style", glass holders
have been created in the form of a peasant hut, a high log fence, a barrel, a tub, a wicker birch bark box.

The body of the glass holder was decorated with cast plates, carved flower garlands, engravings depicting romantic rural or urban landscapes. Carved flocks of swallows flew across the smooth surface and touching bouquets of lilies of the valley and violets scattered. The early twentieth century was characterized by a high relief image of a horse's head on a long, curved neck framed with clamps, horseshoes, stacks, hunting horns and other attributes of hunting and horse racing.
