FIG. 70a

Nuptial goblet with polychrome enameled and gold-leaf decoration. The slight elongation of the enamel dots and the subtle, radially oriented breaking up of the gold-leaf decoration near the rim indicate that the diameter of the upper part of the object was slightly expanded when it was fired. Venice, late 15th century.  H. 19.9 cm. The Corning Museum of Glass (79.3.170, bequest of Jerome Strauss).
