AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful handmade sling glass from the 17th or 18th century, a magnificent example of craftsmanship from a bygone era. This glass is not just a drinking vessel, but a small work of art that showcases centuries-old craftsmanship.
The decorative swirl motif is applied entirely by hand: molten glass was swirled in graceful streamers over the main glass, creating a unique pattern for each piece. No two glasses are alike – the slight variations in thickness and swirling make this glass an exclusive collector's item.
In its day, a garland was a status symbol, often used for special occasions in affluent households. It combined functionality with refined aesthetics and still exudes that same elegance. Sometimes subtle colors were added, or clear glass was used, allowing light to play through the motif in a captivating way.
The technique of hurling glass is related to Venetian traditions such as chevron and filigree, demonstrating that the knowledge and style of glass masters were shared across Europe. Today, original 17th- and 18th-century hurling glasses are rare and highly sought after by collectors, not only for their beauty but also for their historical value and exceptional craftsmanship.
A unique opportunity to add a piece of history and refinement to your collection.
Seller's Story
My passion for unique objects started early. From antique markets to garage sales, I was always searching for hidden treasures. Later, I learned the ins and outs of the trade at an auction house, and eventually, I decided to forge my own path as an independent dealer. Every day, I work to shape my shop further, and Catawiki is a fantastic platform to expand my collection and share my passion with others.
Finding unique pieces, carefully giving them a second life, and then offering them in my online store. I trust my eye for quality, my sense of style, and my craftsmanship.
