Body of a Goblet Vase
(Renaissance Europe )
The bowl-shaped body is embossed with fourteen gadroons, alternating white and green on blue ground. The blue rim made to receive the cover is concave. The surface is ornamented with gilt scrolls, leaves and fleurs-de-lys. The foot and the cover were lost and the body of the goblet vase was transformed into a lamp, in imitation of the Venetian glass lamps hung in churches.
