Campaniform glass with a colorless foot blown molded. Foot linked to the cup by a hollow ribbed button between two beads. "Of beautiful size, these drinking glasses were manufactured thanks to two or three distinct gobs before being assembled with heat. Testifying to a beautiful evolution of the glassmaking repertoire from the second half of the 16th century, the legs of these glasses are now the privileged support of an ornamentation often inspired by Venetian catalogs and sometimes completed by an enamelled decoration, of French inspiration."
