A façon de Venise latticinio albarello or pharmacy jar, probably Spanish (Catalan), late 16th or early 17th century Of straw tint and typical dumbbell form with an everted rim, decorated in vetro a fili with spaced vertical lattimo threads in opaque white, with a basal 'kick-up', 8.3cm high Footnotes: Provenance With Arthur Churchill Glass Lanham Collection Similar albarelli are illustrated and discussed by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg (1994), pp.374-76, nos.399-403, where they are considered likely to be of Catalonian origin. A similar albarello is illustrated by Anna Laghi, Fragili Trasparenze: Vetri Antichi in Toscana (1994), pp.42 and 111, no.102, where a Tuscan origin is suggested on account of the greyish tint of the glass. However, the straw tint of the present lot would suggest a Spanish origin.
