Beaker
Not on view
One of the great Venetian innovations in glassblowing is filigrana. Drawn-out canes of colorless, white, and colored glass were fused together to create the patterned structure of the vessel. Moore had several examples in his collection. This small beaker of more complex canes with multiple spiraling threads, referred to as filigrana a retorti, was made in Venice.
