Comments
The little funnel-shaped blown wine glass has engraved decoration around the outside of the bowl. One side features a bird in flight, perhaps a phoenix. A simple floral vine decorates the rest of the bowl. The plain stem below the bowl attaches to a slightly domed foot with a folded edge (for strength). The underside of the foot has a pontil mark.
A similar, but more detailed, bird is engraved on the side of a decanter, accession no. 2024.21.
