About this work
So highly regarded was the beautiful glassware produced in Venice from the fifteenth century onwards that Dutch and German glassmakers began to imitate these wares, creating façon de Venise glass (glass in the Venetian manner). Ornate glasses such as this example were intended for use in formal banqueting situations.
