Rare Museum Quality Antique Venetian Cobalt Blue Art Glass You are bidding on a great looking fine genuine rare antique 17th century hand painted Venitian Art Glass Goblet, Compote or Footed Bowl. It has no chips, cracks or repairs! It is in amazing condition. It measures 6.5" tall and just over 6" in diameter. It is hand blown and the glass is a deep cobalt blue with intricate hand painted gold decoration. This is a very old piece! The glass has many tiny little seed bubbles throughout. The gold decoration also features birds, and floral decorations. The gold decoration has only very slight wear, it retains 99% of it's original gold. T are some minor scratches on the inside of the bowl, other than that it's incredible. This piece bears the name and image of Pasquale Cicogna. Pasquale Cicogna was the Doge of Venice from 1585 to 1595. He supported the claim of Henry of Navarre to the French throne, and convinced Pope Sixtus V to support Henry in exchange for his conversion to Catholicism. He broke with tradition by scattering silver coins, rather than gold Ducats, to the crowd during his Coronation procession. These coins were known from then on as cicognini. As his reign of Doge continued his popularity increased because he was very diplomatic and able to tackle major problems with great success. Arguably, one of his greatest successes was converting the Rialto Bridge, one of Venice's major landmarks and the only bridge over the Grand Canal of Venice, from wood to stone between 1588 and 1591. Although greater names such as Michelangelo had submitted designs, Pasquale chose the more humble architect Antonio De Ponte and his nephew Antonio Contin to design and rebuild the Rialto Bridge. After Pasquale Cicogna died of a fever in 1595 a memorial was in scribed on the bridge to the Doge. Like need or want it? Don't wait! Bid now!
