19th Century Salviati Venetian Murano Glass Goblet

About the Item

A Venetian Murano glass goblet made by glass masters Salviati & Co in the late 19th century. During the late 19th century, the Italian Risorgimento consolidated the peninsula’s disparate city states and formed the country of Italy that we know today. In order to deploy a shared national history and a common language upon which a united nation could emerge, artists systematically looked back to the ages that created the Italian ethos and made it a great nation: Ancient Rome and Renaissance Italy. Antonio Salviati engaged in this shared Italian culture by bringing back to Italy the fine art of glassmaking. This exquisite goblet, made circa 1880, shows why Salviati became responsible for reviving Murano’s status as the center for artistic glass throughout Europe. The double helix stem is an extremely rare model and represents great technical mastery of the medium. Dimensions: 8 in. H x 3 1/2 in. W (20 cm H x 9 cm W) Condition: Excellent. Very faint radial hairline to base. Provenance: The Paul Gresswell-Wilkins Collection References: Carol M. Osborne, Venetian Glass of the 1890s: Salviati at Stanford University (Philip Wolfson Publishers, 2002), p. 149 and 194 (model variants illustrated). Aldo Bova, Rosella Junck, and Puccio Migliaccio, eds. The Colours of Murano in the XIX Century (Venice: Arsenale Editrice, 1999), p. 124 and 135 (model variants illustrated).

    A Wedgwood jardiniere with lilac and sage details on a white jasperware ground. Jasperware is perhaps the quintessential Wedgwood clay body and is even considered by some to be a ceramic development on par with porcelain. Originally developed in the 1770s as dyed stoneware bodies (the most ubiquitous of which is pale blue) with applied white figurative decoration in imitation of cameos from the Ancient World, jasperware quickly expanded to a plethora of colorways as per Wedgwood innovation standards. This jardiniere, with lilac and sage decoration on white jasperware ground, is part of Wedgwood’s tricolor jasperware...
