Exceptional large biconical goblet (“becher”) on a foot - Lot 16
Exceptional large biconical goblet (“becher”) on a foot Venetian style (Netherlands or Austria), early 17th century H. 21 cm, diam. 13 cm Comparative bibliography: Dwight P. Lanmon and David B. Whitehouse, *The Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Glass*, New York, 1993. The goblet is made of slightly gray-tinted glass decorated with white vetro a fili and vetro a retorti. It rests on a pedestal with identical decoration. Condition: Minimal traces of crizzling on a narrow transverse band near the rim. Several goblets of this shape and size are known to exist in public collections, notably one, engraved with a diamond pattern, held by the Corning Museum of Glass (inv. 79.3.329). For other examples, see Lanmon and Whitehouse, pp. 159–160.
