Cameo or intaglio, possibly Venus and Cupid. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A reclining, semi-nude female figure holds a jug or amphora, while a winged, nude child appears to be raising an object to its mouth. This may represent the goddess Venus with her son, Cupid or Eros. These pieces were produced in significant numbers, as they were highly valued as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, who often collected several together.
