VENICE, 18TH CENTURY Very rare teardrop-shaped vase Barrel-shaped, made of free-blown and drawn glass, translucent with a slight smoky tint, featuring a spiral ribbed pattern created by pinching and accented with three applied blue glass fillets attached with pliers, two of which are embossed with a wolf’s-tooth pattern, encircling the body at regular intervals. The base is encircled by a matching blue fluted band. Dimensions: 14 x 6.5 cm This shape, known as a “tear bottle” or “weeping figure,” was traditionally intended, according to popular tradition, to collect tears; it is part of the tradition of 18th-century Murano/Venetian glassworks, known for their blown vials with applied fillets and their free-form shapes created on the wheel, without a mold.
