EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the late 16th to 17th century - a Facon de Venise Glass Comet Beaker. Standing at an impressive height of 22 cm, this glass masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. The beaker's greyish tint adds an air of mystery and elegance to its tall cylindrical shape, which rests on a kick-in base. What truly sets it apart are the three turquoise glass trailing threads that emerge from comets below an intricately engraved band. These celestial elements give the beaker a sense of movement and enchantment. Delicate pincered ornamentation adorns the footrim, providing further visual interest and showcasing the skillful craftsmanship employed by Dutch artisans during this period.
