"Cameo Or Intaglio, Possibly Venus And Cupid. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th Century. "

Cameo or intaglio, possibly Venus and Cupid. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century.
A female figure is depicted reclining, half-naked, holding a jug or amphora in her hand, while a naked, winged child raises an object to her mouth. This could be the goddess Venus and her son, Cupid or Eros. This type of piece was created in large numbers because it was highly prized as a souvenir by travelers on the Grand Tour, and several of them were often collected together to form collections. -
