Presented is a lovely antique cobalt blue glass beaker style cup, likely of Italian make, dating to the first quarter of the 1900s. The cup is beautifully decorated around the exterior with a very intricate continuous Greco-Roman frieze style scene of tritons wielding tridents flanking a large scallop shell, adorned with foliate scrollwork. Above and below the mural style scene is a band of applied raised white enamel.

The cup is in excellent overall condition. There is one white enamel dot missing around the rim, which is quite hard to notice without close, careful inspection. The gilt decoration is in great shape. No chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs.

The cup measures about 5 inches in diameter at the rim and stands about 3 1/2 inches tall. -jm
