Covered sweetmeat dish 1875 - 1900

This clear glass “Covered sweetmeat dish” was created by Antonio Salviati in the late 19th century. The piece exhibits the Venetian glassblowing tradition of the time, with its elegant form, delicate ornamentation, and use of clear glass with a subtle, rippled pattern. The dish is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcasing the museum’s impressive collection of decorative arts. The intricate detail of the piece, including the domed lid, the fluted base, and the knob on top, speaks to the skill and artistry of Salviati.
