Topic: Italian ? gold rimmed wine glass help please

[brucebanner]

I have recently picked up a pair of these and sold one, i'm keeping this for myself but would like to know a bit more about it if any one can help please. It has bubbles and inclusions within the glass and a snapped pontil with a hollow stem.

It's 4 1/4 inches in height  2 3/4 inches across the rim and base.

Thanks regards Chris.

Could be Venetian, perhaps Salviati, presumably it weighs very little?

Hello John it weighs about the same as a normal wine glass 100 grams, i've compared it to three wine glasses two Victorian and one Edwardian about the same size and shape although the three are lead crystal, it just feels a bit different to the other Salviati glass ive got although i only have about 30 bits and most are feather weight. here are 4 to corroborate the later. Apologise for the picture quality i'm in a rush this morning.

Thanks Chris.
