A classy and intricate display, this hand-blown intaglio etched grape leaf design includes a horserace theme. Measuring 8.25" high, 5" in diameter at the base, and 6.25" in diameter at the rim, it dates from 19th to early 20th century, we estimate in the circa 1880 range. There is a rough pontil on the underside of the base where the glass was broken off from the stem, indicating that it was hand-blown. Possessing gorgeous detail and an elegant look, this is a classic display piece.
