Decorative Antiques -
Reference: ZF128425

Intaglio or cameo, Hippocampus. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A sea monster, called a hippocampus and usually associated with the god Poseidon, can be seen, with the lower part (chest down) in the shape of a fish and the upper part of a horse. Note the appearance of a rider and waves alluding to the sea. These types of pieces were created in large numbers as they were highly appreciated as souvenirs by travellers on the Grand Tour, and several were often collected to make collections.
