Lot Essay

This vase may be based on European prototypes, reflecting an interest in European glass of 17th and 18th century date. Compare two 17th century Dutch blue glass bottles of similar shape, but with engraved decoration, illustrated by B. Klesse and H. Mayr, European Glass from 1500-1800: The Ernesto Wolf Collection, Vienna, 1987, nos. 160a and 160b. On these two bottles the ring encircling the neck served to secure a metal band and attached stopper.
