This 16th-century "Goblet" is a clear example of Venetian glassmaking, a technique famous for its delicate and intricate designs. This piece is decorated with a combination of bands and a "reticello" pattern, meaning “little net” in Italian, which is achieved through the use of a small, wheeled tool to create a pattern of raised lines. This delicate design highlights the translucent beauty of the glass.

Made at a turning point in the history of Venetian glass, the Latticino Goblet is a superb example that unites the traditional Renaissance shape of the cylindrical, straight-sided bowl, with the newly invented vetro a ritorti decoration. In the 20th century, it was part of the period’s two most legendary collections of Renaissance Venetian glass. It is a remarkable opportunity to find such an extremely rare type of glass in such extraordinary condition and moreover of a significant size. The Latticino Goblet will play a crucial role in further populating our growing collection of historical glass and in bringing it up to the level of our remarkable holdings in the areas of American and contemporary glass.
