Intaglio or cameo, Muse. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A female figure stands, dressed in a tunic and carrying a harp, with a sculpture on a column behind her. She may well be a Muse, following a model so common that even Wedgwood drew inspiration from the base of this figure: compare it with the works of John Flaxman, dated around 1780. These types of pieces were produced in significant numbers, as they were highly valued as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, and several were often collected together.
