Campaniform glass with foot "way Venice" colorless blown molded. Inspired by Venetian productions, this glass is one of the most beautiful representatives of this emulation which gained workshops of Northern Europe and Italian workshops at the end of the Renaissance. This leg decorated with a hollow button molded to fit the features of a lion was very popular at the time, so much so that it was found on all the good European tables. The method of manufacture being based on several distinct gobs, it was possible to find above its legs cups of various forms.
