AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
a beautiful, handmade sling glass from the 17th or 18th century, a splendid example of craftsmanship from a bygone era. This glass is not just a drinking vessel, but a small work of art in which centuries-old artisanal techniques are visible.
There are currently several glasses available with combined shipping.
The decorative sling motif is applied entirely by hand: molten glass was spun into graceful strands over the body of the glass, giving each piece a unique pattern. No two glasses are the same— the slight variations in thickness and twist make this glass an exclusive collectible.
In its time, a sling glass was a status symbol, often used at special occasions in wealthy households. It combined functionality with refined aesthetics and still radiates that same elegance. Sometimes subtle colors were added or clear glass was used, causing the light to play through the motif in a magical way.
The technique of sling glass is related to Venetian traditions such as chevron and filigrana, showing that knowledge and style of glassmakers were exchanged across Europe. Today, original 17th- and 18th-century sling glasses are rare and highly sought after by collectors, not only for their beauty but also for their historical value and the exceptional craftsmanship.
A special 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.
