Dating back to the early 1800's, Egermann Company specializes in hand decorated glass with each piece posing a decorative and highly art oriented character. Egermann's main claim to fame is its invention in 1832 of a process called "red staining" in where the dark ruby red coloring on each piece's surface is decorated by baroque patterns using cutting and engraving processes. Egermann is the world's premier manufacturer of the "red staining" process.
Each vase, glass or bowl is therefore a unique product in the tradition of the grandmaster Friedrich Egermann.(reference: Egermann website)
