Catalogue Note
Le verre émaillé et doré était la spécialité de l'ile vénitienne de Murano dès la seconde moitié du XVe siècle. La technique de décoration à la feuille d'or et à l'émail de cette coupe était influencée par la verrerie arabe et est comparable à deux coupes conservées au Victoria & Albert Museum de Londres (inv. 5492-1859 et 5240-1901).
