| Zusammenfassung: | A goblet with an unusual double-walled bowl encasing silver leaf was published in 1948 as a rare product of a Mansell glasshouse in England in the 1640s. It has been sold several times at auction, each time identified as a 17th-century glass. But it has an iridescent surface that was sprayed on while the glass was still on a pontil. This proves that it cannot be of 17th-century date. When and how was it made, and who made it? The authors consider several glassmakers who used encased metallic leaf in the late 19th century, both in England and on the Continent. They conclude that the goblet was probably made by Salviati in Venice in the late 19th century. |
