This goblet is a cross-cultural combination of Venetian and English glassblowing techniques. The unique stem features a helix of trapped air through the length of the stem. The English air twist stem is a technique that was developed in Georgian England in the mid-18th century. It sits upon a traditional Venetian-style optic molded knop, and supports a pineapple mold-blown tazza for the cup. The tazza is one of the more difficult cup shapes to make, as it requires a knowledgeable hand to shape the wide, low sides of the cup without letting it turn out at the edges. This goblet features a traditional blown foot with a turned under edge, which makes an otherwise thin, delicate foot stronger. This goblet was created on April 23, 2024. It measures 7 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" wide. It comes in a custom-made wooden box to help protect it when it is not in use or displayed.
