Exceptional Grand Tour Cup in Red Marble, Modeled After the Vatican Original, 19th Century 31 cm high x 49.5 cm in diameter. Red marble. A large, classic goblet made in Verona in the mid-19th century, carved from a single piece with a base, stem, and cup of monumental proportions. The stone, with its reddish hue and white veins, creates a chromatic effect of great nobility and decorative richness.
