An Anglo-Venetian wine glass circa 1680

Glasses of this type are illustrated in the sketches of John Greene, dated 1667-1672, who was trading with Allesio Morelli, a Venetian glassmaker. A similar glass is illustrated by L.Bickerton, Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses, p.57, pl.27

A very similar example was sold in our New Bond Street Rooms, 14th April 1992, lot 43.
