A fine façon de Venise goblet and a cover, 17th century
Possibly Netherlands, the generous round funnel bowl with an everted rim and moulded with twelve vertical flutes, set on a wrythen moulded hollow baluster stem between collars, the conical foot moulded with fifteen radiating flutes and neatly folded at the rim, the smaller domed cover similarly moulded with twelve flutes surmounted by a globular finial, goblet 17cm high
Footnotes
Provenance
Paul Gresswell-Wilkins Collection
A covered goblet of different form but with similarly moulded flutes is illustrated by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), p.326, no.321. The foot can be compared to wine glasses moulded with 'nipt diamond waies' thought to have been produced in the Netherlands, see the example in the Rijksmuseum (inv. no.BK-NM-10754-30), illustrated by van Eck and Zijlstra-Zweens, Glass in the Rijksmuseum (1993), vol.1, p.37, no.34.
