Sitges, Museu Maricel, R-81

Part of a set of six champagne glasses. Female figure wearing a tunic. An example has been found in a private collection (from the C. Arderiu de Riba collection). There is another at the Museu Maricel in Sitges (R. 81), on permanent loan from the Catalan government since 1/12/2014 (previously part of the Salvador Riera collection). Its measurements vary slightly: 12 x 3.5 cm diameter. The enamel on the girl’s arm on the glass at the museum has a defect due to overfiring. Crespo and Nogués didn’t consider it suitable for sale, but, instead of discarding it, they decided to give it to a friend as a present. Rights to the second image: Museu Maricel, Sitges.
