Lot 17
A very rare Venetian opalescent glass vase, circa 1700Of double ogee form moulded with fourteen vertical ribs, the flared neck with a folded rim and a trailed vermicular collar, applied with two curled ribbed hollow handles with pincered ornament in clear glass, set on a hollow ribbed globular knop between collars, on a twelve-sided spreading folded foot, 23.9cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceLady 'Lili' Maria Elisabeth Augusta Cartwright (née von Sandizell)Thence by descent to her son, William Cornwallis Cartwright, Aynhoe Park, OxfordshireThence by family descent to the present ownerVases of this form are very rare and whilst they are recorded in several important collections this would appear to be the only known example in opal glass. A vase of similar form in clear glass with diamond-point decoration is illustrated by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), p.510-11, no.645, and another in clear glass with damaged handles is in the Museo del Vetro di Murano (accession no. Cl.VI n.01690). The curled handles on both of these vases closely resemble those on the present lot and Theuerkauff-Liederwald notes that their form is unusual.Two vases of comparable shape applied with flowers are in the Danish Royal collection at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. They include an example in clear glass containing a lampwork flower bouquet and another in latticinio, both illustrated by Gudmund Boesen, Venetianske Glas på Rosenborg (1960), nos.19 and 50. Another latticinio example is in the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Cologne, illustrated by Brigitte Klesse in the catalogue Glas (1963), p.96, no.181 and by Barovier Mentasti et al., Mille Anni di Arte del Vetro a Venezia (1982), p.146, no.215. See also the damaged clear glass example applied with turquoise lion masks in the Museo del Vetro di Murano (accession no. Cl.VI n.02034). The handles of all of these examples differ from those on the present lot.This vase has very close parallels to small spouted ewers in opal glass, notably the double ogee form, the knop between collars and the use of vermicular trailing around the neck. Only five such ewers appear to be recorded, including two in the Museo Nazionale di San Martino, Naples, illustrated by Barovier Mentasti et al. (1982), pp.164-5, nos.254a and 254b, one in the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin (accession no. K 132), illustrated by Franz Dreier, Venezianische Gläser (1989), p.85, no.69, one in the Musée Ariana in Geneva, illustrated by Erwin Baumgartner, Reflets de Venise (2015), pp.203-4, no.96 and one at Veste Coburg, illustrated by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald (1994), p.406, no.442.The form is also closely related to large ewers or jugs in clear glass. Examples are in the Museo del Vetro di Murano (accession nos. Cl.VI n.01294 and n.01425), in the British Museum (accession no. S.505) illustrated by Hugh Tait, The Golden Age of Venetian Glass (1979), p.57, no.61, in the Rijksmuseum (accession no. NM 8013) illustrated by Pieter Ritsema van Eck, Glass in the Rijksmuseum (1993), p.101, no.141, in Toledo Museum of Art (accession no. 1925.130) and at Rosenborg Castle illustrated by Boesen (1960), no.1. Compare also to the ewer with combed decoration at Rosenborg illustrated by Boesen (1960), no.88.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 15
A very rare Venetian opalescent glass candlestick, circa 1700The tall cylindrical nozzle moulded with twelve ribs and folded at the rim, applied with a trailed vermicular collar, set on a hollow wrythen-moulded inverted baluster stem between similarly moulded hollow cushion knops separated by collars, the high waisted double-ogee domed base moulded with fourteen ribs and with a folded footrim, 23.2cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceLady 'Lili' Maria Elisabeth Augusta Cartwright (née von Sandizell)Thence by descent to her son, William Cornwallis Cartwright, Aynhoe Park, OxfordshireThence by family descent to the present ownerTwo very similar opal glass candlesticks are in the Civici Musei di Arte e Storia in Brescia (accession nos. VT 176 and VT 177) illustrated by Paolo Zecchin, The Inventory of Matteo Priuli in the Year 1700, in Study Days on Venetian Glass (2014), p.49, fig.1. Zecchin states that two Candellieri di girasole (opal candlesticks) are listed in the inventory of Matteo Priuli's glass at his home in Padua in 1700, demonstrating that candlesticks of this type were being produced in opal glass prior to the 18th century.A handful of candlesticks of similar form with distinctive wide domed feet, for stability, are known in clear glass. One from the Christopher Crabtree Collection was sold by Bonhams on 16 December 2009, lot 133, and is now in the Corning Museum of Glass (accession no. 2009.3.102). Another is in the Musée Ariana in Geneva (accession no. MF 4079), illustrated by Erwin Baumgartner, Reflets de Venise (2015), pp.190-3, no.88. An example with diamond-point engraved decoration is in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (accession no. OGL-1966-0002), illustrated by Jet Pijzel-Dommisse and Titus Eliëns, Glinsterend Glas (2009), p.79, no.103 and another is in the Gewerbemuseum in Nuremberg, illustrated by Erich Egg, Die Glashütten zu Hall und Innsbruck (1962), fig.69. See also that from the Guépin Collection sold by Christie's on 5 June 1989, lot 29.Two examples with floral lampwork stems in the Rosenborg Caste glass collection are of related form and are illustrated by Gudmund Boesen, Venetianske Glas på Rosenborg (1960), nos.25 and 89.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
