A fine Venetian or façon de Venise winged latticinio 'ring' goblet, 19th century

In vetro a reticello, decorated with fine spiralling filigree threads in opaque white, each intersection containing a trapped air bubble, the generous round funnel bowl applied with two trailed 'wings' in turquoise glass, alternating with two small loops hung with finely twisted rings also in turquoise glass, the hollow baluster stem also in latticinio between clear glass collars, on a spreading foot, 17cm high

Footnotes

The construction of this remarkable goblet would have required exceptional skill from a glassmaker, such as Salviati, who had truely mastered the craft. It reflects a fanciful combination of periods and styles found in much early Venetian and façon de Venise glass, including winged wine glasses and goblets of the late 16th and early 17th centuries and latticinio from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. See for example the vetro a reticello goblet and the winged 'ring' wine glass in Corning Museum of Glass (acc. nos. 50.3.68 and 79.3.212). Early latticinio goblets typically have folded feet and whilst examples with plain feet are known, these usually have a swept rather than slightly domed profile. They are not usually found with ornament in coloured glass. The rings lack the closed, finely milled construction of those seen on earlier 'ring' glasses and the protrusions at the tops of the distinctive 'wings' are uncharacteristic, appearing to confirm a later attribution.
