Spelter & Ruby Glass Wine Ewer. Spelter is highly decorated with Cherubs (one killing a deer apparently!) Bearded mans face to neck. (Italian) Wine Ewer Spelter and Ruby Glass. Small size. 204 mm. 1920s
Repaired. Good. Handle looks to have been deliberately broken off and a candle holder forced into the top and neck at some stage. Handle has now been crudely glued back on. Base is slightly bent. Only relatively minor marks otherwise. Quite a spectacular looking thing. (From the Ian Mastin collection whose exceptional still life artwork includes many of these pieces - http://www.ianmastin.com/) Grade: 6 Estimate: $40 - 60
