The picture shows bottles and vases of polychrome filigree, produced by Bigaglia c. 1845. Filigree is an opaque white or coloured glass which appears as swirling threads or spirals. The various interlacing patterns of these filigrees differed from the traditional sixteenth-century ones in the chromatic vivacity of their fabric, highlighted by the formal simplicity of the object itself, with a slight hint of Biedermeier influence.
