Physical DescriptionColorless glass with greyish tinge, and seeds; blown, diamond-point engraved. Hemispherical bowl with furnace-opened rim, joined directly to hollow-blown “dumb-bell” stem, itself mounted directly on blown, foot with infolded edge and rough pontil mark. Bowl is diamond-point engraved with two tripartite sprays of hatched leaves and flowers; foot with eight small hatched leaves. The goblet is assembled entirely without mereses. All glass surfaces are very thin, and the goblet thus very light. The general impression is a bit sloppy. The stem is somewhat crooked, and the engraving on the foot is very scetchy.Provenance
