This lovely early Venetian goblet has a very faint stress fracture to its right side wing at its upper attachment as can be seen in the photographs ,however to the naked eye this is barely visible but much exaggerated with the macro photograph, this of course has to be taken into consideration and has been priced at less than 50% of its value if perfect.

The other glasses are for illustration only N F S
