A large façon de Venise tazza, 17th centuryCircular with a flat top upturned slightly at the rim, decorated with a trailed pale turquoise-blue glass chain between thin clear milled glass trails, the spreading foot with a thin trailed collar and folded footrim, 34.8cm diam, 11.7cm 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 ownerTazzas of this type, copied from Venetian prototypes, were popular productions in the Netherlands and these have also been attributed to Catalonia. They are illustrated and discussed in detail by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), pp.111-6, nos.53-9. Similar tazzas are depicted as salvers for drinks or sweetmeats in contemporary paintings and the varying sizes in which tazzas with this decoration are found may indicate that some were intended to form tiered table centrepieces. The consistency of the form and chain-link decoration suggests that they may be products of one workshop specialising in these pieces, rather than products of several workshops producing glass in Venetian style. Two similar tazzas are in the Frankfurt Museum für Kunsthandwerk, illustrated in the catalogue Glas (1973), p.68, nos.127 and 128.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A Spanish ewer or sprinkler, early 18th centuryOf fluted baluster form with a grooved scroll handle, the slender spout with a trailed rim in clear glass, the integrated cover with a pointed finial, raised on a circular footring, 20.2cm 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 ownerEwers or canadelles such as this may have had an ecclesiastical purpose as the fixed cover with the lack of any opening other than the spout would make them impractical for use at a table. Two ewers of similar form are depicted in a painting of Misa de San Pedro Pascual by Jerónimo Jacinto de Espinosa (Spanish, 1600-1667), now in the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia, and fragments of similar ewers have been recovered from excavations at Poblet Monastery, Catalonia. See Alice Wilson Frothingham, Hispanic Glass (1941), p.40, fig.28 and pp.42-3 for a detailed discussion.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A rare Venetian or façon de Venise 'ice glass' pail or situla (secchiello), late 16th centuryOf waisted circular form applied with four gilt lion-mask prunts between two gilded horizontal raised bands, a third band forming the footrim around a kick-in base, the quatrefoil gilt and folded rim forming two pouring lips and applied with two looped lugs supporting an overhead ropetwist loop handle, 23.6cm wide including handle terminalsFootnotes: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 ownerThe form of these vessels may derive from Roman examples or from similar vessels produced in metal since the 15th century, although their purpose is debated. It is likely that many were used in religious contexts, as some late 15th and 16th century documents mention glass situlas together with aspersoriums, or specify their use as containers for holy water. However, a secular use on the table as finger bowls or coolers has been suggested. Three ice glass buckets were bought in 1572 and sent to the Duke of Mantua, Guglielmo Gonzaga, perhaps for use as such, see Rosa Barovier Mentasti and Cristina Tonini, Tools to Study Glass, in Study Days on Venetian Glass (2014), pp.21-3 for a detailed discussion.Three similar 'ice glass' situlas with applied footrings are in the Museo del Vetro di Murano in Venice (accession nos. Cl.VI n.01167, Cl.VI n.01254 and Cl.VI n.01256). See also the example illustrated by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), pp.525-6, no.678. Another is in the Musei Civici di Arte e Storia, Brescia (accession no. VT 66). An example without a footring is in the J. Paul Getty Museum (accession no. 84.DK.657), illustrated and discussed by Catherine Hess and Timothy Husband, European Glass in the J. Paul Getty Museum, pp.110-2, no.28, who state that footless examples like the present lot are uncharacteristic of situlas attributed to Venice, and that the grey tint of the metal may be more characteristic of Northern European manufacture.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
