English Facon De Venise Glass Tazza
A small tazza made of clear soda glass __with a shallow tray gently curving up at the edge. The spreading conical base has a folded foot. This is a product of one of the Duke of Buckingham’s glass factories in England which were active around the 1670’s. The tazza illustrates the influence of Venetian style of glassmaking and use of soda glass prior to the introduction of leaded glass later in the British market of the 18th Century.
