Description
Glass featuring a drunken man holding a glass and wearing a tailcoat and striped trousers. Part of a set of glasses. A number of examples of this glass have been found in Barcelona galleries, including Artur Ramon Art (ref. 30.030.075) in March 2024. The Palau Antiguitats had another identical example of the glass on display, with the inscription “Nogués p. / Crespo f. 10 / 8” on the base (now in a private collection). A third glass was found at the Clavell & Morgades gallery, with the inscription “Nogués p. / Crespo f.” The photograph shows the glass from the Clavell & Morgades gallery, as it is the best available image of the piece. The references to exhibitions and bibliography relate to the glass from the Palau Antiguitats.
We would like to thank Artur Ramon Art, the Palau Antiguitats and Clavell & Morgades for their assistance in cataloguing the different examples of this glass.

Notes
With the collaboration of Conxa Domènech. Xavier Nogués is the author of the drawings and, sometimes, also of the pictorial transposition with enamel on the glass, Ricard Crespo was responsible for the firing of the pieces and Conxa Domènech de Crespo who also traced and reviewed Nogués’ drawings. The degree of Xavier Nogués’ direct participation is especially evident in the finishes and when compared with the original drawings.
