DescriptionTransparent yellow-green glass with enameling and gilding. Rounded bowl with purple, blue, turquoise, pink, and tan enameled grape leaves that are outlined and detailed with gold and white enamel; grape bunches in gold enamel. Stem and foot seem to be two parts, both hollow. Stem is narrow and tooled repeatedly into thin bulges, some of which are decorated with a line of gilding; the central bulge (knop) has three prints alternating with four-dot white enamel motif (prunt has enameled flower with yellow center and orange dots around). Foot undulates on top surface, and is decorated with lines of gilding and more enameled three-lobe leaf pattern. Grape leaf motif was used by Moser, but could be an imitating glasshouse as well.ProvenanceFaith W. Nusbaum and Sidney L. Nusbaum II, Cynthia and Stuart Katz, Chrysler Museum of Art
