Early Allach perfume bottle from founding member of the Allach porcelain concern and property owner. Early pieces dating to 1936 are some of the most sought after and difficult to obtain and many of them were Nagy pieces. The perfume bottles which varied in style and shape represent a small sampling of the early days of the commercial enterprise which would go on to produce over 200 models, but Nagy would take leave early on and it is assumed he fell out of favor.
Referenced as Klein Duftstoff Flasche/ Small perfume bottle on an early list maintained by Nagy, the piece was #45. These bottles are small in stature and not encountered often. The piece measures about 2 1/2 inches high x 2+ inches wide and depicts a falconer on horseback. The rear of the piece is in high glaze porcelain with baroque accents, the front of the piece is in bisque porcelain. A rare piece to find and one of the few examples where an early model # was recycled in later production at the firm.
It is rare.
The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
