Cameo or intaglio, possibly Venus and Cupid. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A female figure is shown lying down, half-naked, holding a jug or amphora in her hand, while a winged, naked child is seen raising an object to its mouth. This may be the goddess Venus with her son, Cupid or Eros. This type of piece was created in large numbers as it was highly prized as a souvenir by travellers on the Grand Tour, and several were often collected together to form collections.
