Bowl in the Form of a Ship

1600-10
Rock crystal, 14 x 22 x 7 cm
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

The small elegant bowl in rock crystal has the extended from of a little ship being carried by na S-shaped dolphin. Worth noting in this bowl is technical mastery with which the thin-walled container was cut and conceived without a goldwork support.
