Fluted vase with dolphins
Venezia-Murano Company Italian
Not on view
The rippled edge of this fluted vase and the twisted tails of the dolphins recall the exaggerated forms of baroque glass that caught the eye of King Frederick IV of Denmark when he visited Venice in 1708. This showpiece demonstrates how nineteenth-century glassmakers remastered—and in some cases surpassed—earlier techniques.
