Shown in the international exhibition, Paris, 1867 in which Heinrich Ulrich exhibited 'Gobletterie et cristaux'. It is not clear if Ulrich was the maker as well as the retailer. No glassworks location is known but such enamelled glass was made by a number of Bohemian glassworks known to have supplied Viennese retailers, such as that at Harrach.
