Kothgasser, Anton, b. Vienna, Jan. 9, 1769, 
d. Vienna, June 2, 1851, glass painter of the Biedermeier period 
(idyllic Austrian style 1814-1848). 1784-1840 design painter at the 
Vienna Porcelain Factory. Took up sheet glass and hollow glass 
painting following the example of G. S. Mohn, but with more 
richly-coloured designs. Biedermeier glass beakers painted in opaque 
enamel, widening towards the top and with a large base are typical of 
his later works. Town views and landscapes, flowers, emblems and 
allegories were common motifs; also painted animals, hunting scenes 
and portraits.
