DescriptionThis is a goblet of colorless blown glass that is decorated with polychrome enamel and gilding. The conical goblet has no true stem, tapering to meet an applied glass foot (3 3/8 in. diam.). The exterior of the bowl and foot are decorated with hand-painted (possibly stenciled) decoration of animals (dolphins, lions, and eagles) and stylized plants in six enamel colors, including burgundy, yellow, dark green, light blue, dark blue, and white. A band of gilding and enamel dotted decoration runs just below the rim, and the gilding is worn.ProvenanceDave Evans, Healthyants Antiques, 72 Leicester Road, Shepshed, Loughborough LE12 9DQ United Kingdom to Crawford Alexander Mann III (2019) to CMA (2023) Exhibition History"Fantastic Creatures of the Venetian Lagoon: Glass 1875-1915," Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA, February 23, 2024 — August 18, 2024.
