A small Venetian or façon de Venise latticinio albarello or pharmacy jar, perhaps 19th century
Of typical dumbbell form with an everted rim, decorated in vetro a retorti with opaque white filigree twists alternating with gauze cable, kick-in base, 8.2cm high
Footnotes:
The shape this albarello is derived from earlier examples, of which a number are illustrated by Anna Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), pp.367-79. A latticinio beaker which may be of related manufacture, attributed to the Josephinenhütte in Schreiberhau, is illustrated by Glasgalerie Michael Kovacek, Glas: 1500 - Heute (2000), p.49, no.24.
