Footnotes

Provenance
Paul Gresswell-Wilkins Collection

This bowl belongs to a distinctive group of vessels all of similar tint attributed to late 16th or 17th century Castile or Catalonia. All have faint moulded ribs and a distinctive pointed kick-in base but no applied footring. See Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), p.165, no.144 for a discussion. A bowl of very similar form in the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Cologne, is illustrated by Brigitte Klesse in the catalogue Glas (1963), p.103, no.202.
