Venetian Or Façon De Venise Goblet With Applied Decoration Of Fish Ca. 1850-1860

This is a beautiful antique hand blown Venetian Or Faon de Venise goblet circa 1850-1860. The very wide conical bowl is made of green Venetian glass while set on a slender tapering hollow stem on a sapphire blue glass. The mouth rim & the narrow slightly domed conical foot are of darker shade of cobalt blue glass. The cuppa is hand decorated & painted with two yellow long-tailed goldfish between a sea foliage extending throughout the glass. An obvious pontil mark cut on the bottom of the foot is seen which is a characteristic of early Venetian hand blown glass works. This amazing Venetian glass goblet can serve as a wine glass but also as an ornament in itself. With some very minor scratches on one of the fish fins otherwise in very good condition.
