Intaglio or cameo, Muse. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A female figure stands, robed and carrying a harp, with a sculpture on a column behind her. This may be a Muse, so common that even Wedgewood was inspired by the base of this figure: compare the works of John Flaxman, dated c. 1780. Such pieces were produced in large numbers as they were highly prized as souvenirs by Grand Tour travellers, and several were often collected together to form collections.
