Coupe

Cup in transparent glass slightly yellowish. The lip is round. The truncated cone profile ends in a bottom of a 23 mm diameter tubular pontil. The walls are of a remarkable thinness. (0,5 mm). D. 168 mm ; H. 57 mm. The piece is decorated with : - two registers of horizontal fillets in white enamel turned brownish. The first, under the lip is formed of 4 to 5 extremely fine turns more or less tight. The second, at mid-height is formed of at least 5 very fine and very tight turns to the point of giving the impression of a single thicker net. - eight quilted arches formed by 5 turns of a very fine net. The technique used is described by Feyeux. It consists in rolling the enamel net on the gob, just before slicing. The high temperature facilitates the adherence of the decoration, but it also allows to prick the fillets inside the body with a sharp instrument. When the operation is completed, the blowing inflates the goblet of the vessel, which causes a stretching of the "enamel" threads that become very fine (Feryeux, 2003, p. 226). This object is fragmentary.
