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

With a cup-shaped bowl resting on a merese, above a remarkable stem formed from a knotted rope of glass, the twisted tubing containing spiral threads of white, blue and yellow looped around a central opaque white ribbon, applied at the sides with pincered dark turquoise 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, 27.7cm high
