Gobelet tronconique

Metz [57] Le musée de La Cour d’Or-Metz Métropole

© Laurianne Kieffer (Musée de La Cour d'Or-Eurométropole de Metz)

Moulded cup with ribbed decoration, eight of which are pinched and joined together. Low pedestal and upside down. "This greyish glass goblet, very slightly iridescent due to its burial, is one of the most beautiful representatives of these pedestal glasses very popular during the Renaissance. While this beautiful object offers an original variation of the ribbed decoration, the following examples illustrate the diversity of the ornamental palette of this group."
