Hand-blown and hand-painted glass tumbler, 16th century

Hand-blown and hand-painted glass tumbler, 16th century

Antique hand-blown and hand-painted glass, with rustications at its base useful for improving its grip, a typical manufacturing expression of the 16th century. On its entire circumference, shown on a gold background, there is a painting relating to a scene from "Hunting" starring a hunter armed with a crossbow depicted in the moment in which, after taking aim, he shoots a dart towards the figure of a deer which, even if mortally wounded, finds the strength to take a leap as if to escape towards the dense vegetation of the forest.

The glass, very light, is probably of German or Austrian production and is preserved in excellent condition.
