EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite glassware pieces from the late 16th century. The first is a Facon-de-Venise Latticinio wine glass, originating from the Low Countries, possibly Antwerp. Standing at an impressive height of 29.9 cm, this wine glass boasts a flared bowl adorned with intricate vetro a fili decoration. Its hollow baluster stem features lion masks and beaded swags between gadrooned sections, resting on a folded circular foot. Accompanying this stunning wine glass is a flute measuring 16.6 cm in height. Also hailing from the late 16th century and potentially crafted in Antwerp, this flute exhibits similar craftsmanship to its counterpart. With aventurine inclusions adding an extra touch of allure, it possesses a tall conical bowl supported by a stem and foot resembling that of the Facon-de-Venise Latticinio wine glass. Both these glasses are not only functional vessels for drinks but also works of art with their ornate decorations and intricate designs. They represent the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during this period in Belgium's history. This mesmerizing photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of these ancient drinking vessels while offering us glimpses into past eras where such delicate artistry was highly valued and celebrated.
