A façon de Venise serpent-stemmed winged wine glass, 17th century

The conical bowl on a slender merese nestled above a remarkable stem formed from a knotted rope of glass, the twisted tubing containing spriral threads of red, white and blue ribbon, looped symmetrically, applied at the sides with pincered clear glass trails and surmounted by flattened finials suggesting the heads of two serpents, the short plain base of the stem with a flattened knop above a conical foot folded at the rim, 25.5cm high
