Description
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 tall, thin, optic-molded cup, also in the Venetian style. 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. One of our taller goblet offerings, it measures 9 3/4" tall and 3 1/4" wide. It comes in a custom-made wooden box to help protect it when it is not in use or displayed. A certificate of authenticity is also included in the box.
