As from
the year
1914,
Valentin
Eisch,
the
founder
of the
Eisch
glass
factory,
worked
as a
master
engraver
at the
crystal
glass
factory
of
Counsellor
of
Commerce
Isidor
Gistl.
In 1946
he
started
his own
refining
company
together
with his
wife
Therese,
in order
to build
up a
secure
existence
for his
six
children.
Erwin
Eisch
was the
pioneer
and
spiritual
father
of the
studio
glass
movement
in
Europe.
For the
glass
factory,
he
provides
important
impulses
and is a
"person
with a
different
mind"
still
today.
Research
shows
that the
glassmaker
tradition
of the
Eisch
family
dates
back to
Mathias
Alesch,
who was
born in
the
Bohemian
Forest
in 1689,
and who
is
mentioned
there on
the list
of
employees
of a
small
glassworks.
Inspired
by
nature
Nature
as a
model
for
colours
and
forms,
fascinatingly
captured
in
glass.
Inspired
by the
eternal
and
intensive
change
of
seasons.
The
Bavarian
Forest
in
romanticizing,
partly
mystic,
partly
cheerful
forms of
expression.
Clarity
and
diversity
as an
impulse
for
life,
productive
power,
and
creativity:
Crystalline
metamorphoses
mirroring
nature.
For the
Eisch
family,
life and
glass
are
inseparably
linked
to
nature.
Erwin
Eisch's
glass
art is
poetic,
pictorial,
plastic,
and
bizarre.
He gave
wings to
the
fantasy
of glass
artists
and
painters,
and made
the
"Poetry
in
Glass"
series a
world-wide
success:
Artistic
metamorphoses
that
gained
worldwide
fame.
