drinking glasses - Venetian - ? what date and maker?
« on: December 07, 2013, 02:34:44 PM »
I am assuming these are Venetian because of the scenes of Venice enamelled on to them. - but in case I'm wrong and that's too obvious an assumption I'll post them in Glass  :)

Bought mid year from a UK seller.

Presumably part of a much larger set initially?
 I'm guessing 1950's or earlier based on the saucer shaped champagne.? But how much earlier - any way of telling?

The painting of the design on each is very detailed and well executed IMHO. They have an amazing ring to them. Are very fine glass, with a marigold iridescence. The foot on each is  decorated with a ring of small enamelled dots around the base.
Pontil mark on each is very smooth and flat and I'd guess fire polished - not ground anyway.

Largest wine is a smidgeon over 14 cm (5.5 inches)  tall. smallest just over 10 cm (4 inches) tall

Would love to know more about them - I think they are gorgeous.

TIA & regards

As I got no replies I wonder if a moderator could please move this to the Murano board. Thanks. JAK
